Prevention of neural tube defects in Lrp mutant mouse embryos by folic acid supplementation
ConclusionLrp2 is required for folate homeostasis in heterozygous dams and high levels of supplementation prevents NTDs. Furthermore, high levels of dietary iron supplementation interfered with folic acid supplementation negating the positive effects of supplementation in this model.

Metabolite profiling of whole murine embryos reveals metabolic perturbations associated with maternal valproate ‐induced neural tube closure defects
ConclusionMaternal VPA treatment markedly perturbed purine and pyrimidine metabolism in E9.5 embryos. In combination with a high FA diet, VPA treatment resulted in gross metabolic changes, likely caused by a multiplicity of mechanisms, including an apparent disruption of mitochondrial beta‐oxidation.

Preaxial polydactyly following early gestational exposure to the smoothened agonist, SAG, in C57BL/6J mice
ConclusionPreaxial polydactyly can be caused in the developing embryo by acute maternal administration of a Smo agonist that activates HH signaling. These results are consistent with the preaxial polydactyly induced in developmental disorders associated with mutations in HH signaling genes.Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2016.© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Genetic backgrounds and modifier genes of NTD mouse models: An opportunity for greater understanding of the multifactorial etiology of neural tube defects
Neurulation, the early embryonic process of forming the presumptive brain and spinal cord, is highly complex and involves hundreds of genes in multiple genetic pathways. Mice have long served as a genetic model for studying human neurulation, and the resulting neural tube defects (NTDs) that arise when neurulation is disrupted. Because mice appear to show mostly single gene inheritance for NTDs and humans show multifactorial inheritance, mice sometimes have been characterized as a simpler model for the identification and study of NTD genes. But are they a simple model? When viewed on different genetic backgrounds, many gen...
