Résumé
A series of patients affected by neural tube defects have been studied in Niamey (Niger). This population is highly consanguineous and we try estimating the number of cases in which a previous identical malformation has been reported in the family. We found only 4 families indicating that the percentage of such families is not increased in our population. However, we think that studying genetic factors in this specific population could allow to demonstrate susceptibility genes that can act on this pathology.
