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+.
