Maternal Diabetes Alters Expression of MicroRNAs that Regulate Genes Critical for Neural Tube Development
Maternal diabetes is known to cause neural tube defects (NTDs) in embryos and neuropsychological deficits in infants. Several metabolic pathways and a plethora of genes have been identified to be deregulated in developing brain of embryos by maternal diabetes, although the exact mechanism remains un...
