Proteins of neural tube defects / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Neural tube defects(NTD)are a common congenital malformations in humans leading to in-fant mortality or severe disability.The etiology of NTD is complicated,with both environmentaland genetic con-tributions.It has been found that the protein markers associated with NTD are mainly maternal serum alpha feto-protein,amniotic fluid alpha fetoprotein and amniotic fluid glial fibrillary acidic protein.This article reviews the protein biomarks related with NTD.
