Résumé
Neural tube defects (NTDs) have a complex etiology. Few studies have assessed alkaline earth metals exposures and occurrence of NTDs. We examined the association between prenatal exposure to magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr) and barium (Ba) and risk for NTDs in a case-control study, and assessed the teratogenic effects of Ba on mice. Placentas were collected from 408 women with NTD-affected pregnancies and 593 women who delivered healthy infants, and concentrations of these metals were determined as prenatal exposure markers. The single effect of individual exposure and joint effect of coexposure to these metals were evaluated with logistic regression and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR), respectively.
