چکیده
Long predicted from studies of model vertebrates, the first human example of abnormal patterning of the early neural tube leading to underdevelopment of the cerebellum has been demonstrated.

Caudal Regression Syndrome
Caudal regression syndrome (CRS) is a rare neural tube defect affecting terminal spinal segments and cord manifesting as neurological deficit ranging from bladder and bowel involvement to severe sensory motor deficits in lower limbs. It has sporadic appearance and maternal diabetes, genetic factors, teratogens and hypoperfusion are considered as possible etiologic factors and it can be associat...
متن کاملCaudal Regression Syndrome: A Case Series of a Rare Congenital Anomaly
BACKGROUND Caudal regression syndrome is a rare, neural tube defect characterized by an abnormal development of the caudal aspect of the vertebral column and the spinal cord., It results in neurological deficits ranging from bladder and bowel involvement to severe sensory and motor deficits in the lower limbs. Maternal diabetes, genetic factors and some teratogens have been shown to be associat...
متن کاملIn Vitro Treatment of Deficits in Neural Crest Proliferation and Migration in Mouse Models for down Syndrome
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by trisomy of the 21 st chromosome in humans (Hsa21) and occurs in ~1/750 live births. Ts65Dn is the most commonly used mouse model for DS and contains three copies of orthologs for about half the genes found on Hsa21. Ts65Dn mice exhibit craniofacial deficits similar to those seen in individuals with DS including a reduced mandible and oral cavity and shortened mid...
متن کاملEffect of arsenic on neural tube in mouse embryo and relation to reduced folate carrier (RFC-1)
Arsenic is an important environmental toxicant which is usually found in drinking water in inorganic form. The hypothesis tested in this investigation is; arsenic exposure causes neural tube defects (NTDs) andthese defects of the central nervous system are more likely related to folate deficiency during fetal life. In this study, sodium arsenate was administered via intraperitoneal route at a r...
متن کاملThe control of rostrocaudal pattern in the developing spinal cord: specification of motor neuron subtype identity is initiated by signals from paraxial mesoderm.
The generation of distinct classes of motor neurons is an early step in the control of vertebrate motor behavior. To study the interactions that control the generation of motor neuron subclasses in the developing avian spinal cord we performed in vivo grafting studies in which either the neural tube or flanking mesoderm were displaced between thoracic and brachial levels. The positional identit...
