“Atlanto-occipital Assimilation Caused by Disrupted Embryonic Development Regulated by NOTCH, WNT, Hox Genes, and Retinoic Acid: Clinical Significance for Neurovascular Symptoms”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115734

The abstract discusses how atlanto-occipital assimilation, a fusion of the first cervical vertebra to the skull, is caused by disruptions in embryonic development regulated by NOTCH, WNT, Hox genes, and retinoic acid, and its potential clinical significance for neurovascular symptoms.
