Description

Neural Tube Defects: Folate Effects, Prevention, and Genetic Considerations is a comprehensive resource offering insights into the etiology, prevention, and management of neural tube defects (NTDs). Authored by leading experts in the field, this book provides a thorough exploration of the role of folate metabolism, genetic factors, and environmental influences in NTD pathogenesis. From understanding the basic principles of embryonic development to exploring preventive strategies and genetic considerations, each chapter offers a comprehensive overview of NTDs. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of folate supplementation in preventing NTDs and the implications of genetic factors in NTD risk. Rich in both theoretical knowledge and practical applications, "Neural Tube Defects" serves as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and advocates seeking to deepen their understanding of NTDs and improve preventive efforts. By providing comprehensive insights and evidence-based strategies, this book aims to contribute to the advancement of NTD research and prevention.
