“A deep-learning algorithm is helping doctors and researchers to pinpoint a range of rare genetic disorders by analysing pictures of people’s faces.”

The article discusses how FDNA’s Face2Gene app uses a deep-learning algorithm to identify signs of rare genetic disorders by analyzing facial features. The app leverages advanced AI technology to scan photos, detecting phenotypic markers associated with various genetic conditions. By comparing these features against a vast database, the app provides quick and accurate diagnostic insights. This approach enhances early detection and allows for personalized treatment plans, significantly improving patient outcomes.
