In this case, Face2Gene helped Dr. Li target the analysis of a gene that otherwise would not have been analyzed, ultimately identifying the diagnostic variant. WHO Dr. Hong Li is a clinical and biochemical geneticist at Emory University specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of inherited metabolic disorders, lysosomal storage diseases, genetic disorders with dysmorphic […]
After a successful experience using Face2Gene in his telehealth clinic in Scottsbluff, Dr. Abdul-Rahman decided to start another clinic using the same model, this time even further away in Gordon, Nebraska. WHO Dr. Omar Abdul-Rahman is the Director of Genetics at the Munroe-Meyer Institute. THE DILEMMA Here they saw a young child, only a few […]
In this case, Face2Gene helped Dr. Omar Abdul-Rahman get patients tested in a more rapid, targeted way, many times before a patient even walked through the door. WHO Dr. Omar Abdul-Rahman is the Director of Genetics at the Munroe-Meyer Institute. BACKGROUND For many years, the genetics team at the Munroe-Meyer Institute has provided genetic care […]
Rare diseases affect roughly 30 million Americans, yet only 5 percent of the estimated 7,000 known rare diseases have cures or treatments approved by the FDA. Each February, clinical, tech, and advocacy communities around the world pause to reflect on this fact and take time to recognize the strides we’ve made and what is to […]
Face2Gene Patient Matching aims to use de-identified facial patterns and other clinical data in your case to find phenotypic similarities to other cases in Face2Gene. We will periodically scan all cases submitted to Patient Matching. If a potential match is found, you and the other clinician(s) who submitted the matching cases will be informed. If […]
DID YOU KNOW: By adding clinical features to your cases in Face2Gene, you increase the possible syndrome matches to 7,000+. NEW: Include features in each of your cases by automatically extracting HPO terms from clinical notes. How It Works 1) Copy your clinical notes to your case in Face2Gene CLINIC 2) Click the ‘Extract’ button to review the HPO* […]
FDNA’s Face2Gene technology is now being used by more than 70% of clinical geneticists at over 2,000 institutions in 130 countries. It was an exciting 2018 for FDNA, as we continued on our path to bring AI-based phenotyping technologies to clinicians, researchers, and labs globally. Take a look below for a recap of what the FDNA team […]
