Spina bifida is primarily associated with genetic and environmental factors rather than a specific mutation on a single chromosome. However, variations in several genes located on different chromosomes, particularly chromosomes 1, 2, and 7, have been linked to an increased risk of spina bifida. Additionally, maternal factors such as folate deficiency during pregnancy can also play a significant role in the development of this condition.
