It is likely that you have seen kids with a cleft in the lip sometimes continuing into the palate (or roof of your mouth) or tooth/teeth missing from birth.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. They happen in about 3,000 pregnancies each year in the United States. A babyâs neural tube normally develops into the brain and spinal cord. It starts out as a tiny, flat ribbon that turns into a tube by the end of the first month of pregnancy. NTDs happen if the tube doesnât close completely. NTDs can cause serious problems for babies, including death.
