By the phrase "Where in the world", I'm not sure if you mean where it comes from geographically, or just what is the cause of it. Geographically, it occurs in every country, and there have been studies that have found it to be more prominent in some countries, such as Ireland. As far as the cause of it, there are dietary causes sometimes, such as the mother not getting enough folic acid in her diet during her pregnancy, and there are possible hereditary causes, which have not been fully studied yet.
