Launch of Factsheet on Genetics and Neural Tube Defects
We are excited to release the first factsheet of its kind exploring the role of genetics in Neural Tube Defects (NTDs). This resource has been created to provide clear, accessible information for families, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in understanding how genetics can influence NTDs.
The factsheet explains why genetics matters, how NTDs can be influenced by multiple factors, and what this means for families and future generations. It is designed to support informed discussions with healthcare professionals and increase awareness about prevention, risk, and family planning.
Developed by the IF Advisory Group on Genetics, this factsheet is part of our ongoing commitment to knowledge sharing and empowerment for those affected by NTDs and Spina Bifida.
