Isi artikel

Spina bifida occurs when the neural tube fails to close during early fetal development, resulting in a range of neural tube defects (NTDs). The cause of spina bifida is not fully understood, but scientists believe that NTDs are the result of genetic and environmental factors acting simultaneously. The Centers for Disease Control reports that spina bifida and other NTDs occur more frequently in some ethnic groups, such as Hispanic people, than in others. The United States is increasingly multicultural and diverse, and it is becoming more difficult to categorize individuals into a single racial/ethnic group. This article uses the term ethnicity as defined by the Institute of Medicine and avoids using race unless part of a particular study.
