Attendees have backgrounds in epidemiology, molecular biology, developmental biology, embryology, genetics, and others. The sessions cover topics such as folate supplementation and fortification, the folate pathway, mouse models of neural tube defects, clinical aspects (e.g., syndromology) of neural tube defects, population differences in NTD frequency, and many others. Abstracts on any aspect of neural tube defects are welcome for platform or poster presentation.
