Face2Gene® is a search and reference tool powered by the Facial Dysmorphology Novel Analysis Technology

New York, NY (PRNewswire) March 12, 2015  – “FDNA, the pioneer in computer-aided dysmorphology analysis, has announced today the launch of an online forum for the genetics expert community dedicated to the discussion and review of undiagnosed and challenging cases. The company will unveil the online forum in a scheduled theater presentation at the Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting ACMG 2015 in Salt Lake City, UT on March 26th, 2015 at 11:40 am.

Face2Gene facilitates detection of facial dysmorphic features and recognizable patterns of human malformations to present comprehensive and up-to-date genetic references. One of the unmet needs raised by Face2Gene users worldwide is the need to consult with their peers in the genetics community about certain cases. Some of the cases they encounter have genetic syndromes that are so rare, that only the cumulative knowledge and experience of the larger geneticist community can lead to a diagnosis.”
