Neural tube defects: a survey of lesion descriptions made by different European pathologists.

abstract：PURPOSE:Adoptees are a population that could benefit from genetic testing to fill gaps in family health history (FHH). Elective genomic testing (EGT) provides adoptees with clinical genetic testing options to learn about genetic health risks in the absence of FHH. We assessed adoptees' interests in, motivations for and...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sonic hedgehog (SHH) plays an important role in defining the anterior-posterior axis in the developing limbs. A highly conserved non-coding sequence about approximately 1 Mb upstream from the sonic hedgehog gene (SHH) was shown to be a long range regulator for SHH expression in the limb bud. Point mutations ...
