Greenwood Genetic Center to Use FDNA Technology for Rare Disease Patient Analysis

“Greenwood Genetic Center announced today that it has signed an agreement to use FDNA’s Face2Gene next-generation phenotyping technology to gain insights into thousands of undiagnosed patients with rare diseases. Face2Gene uses facial analysis, deep learning, and artificial intelligence to evaluate symptoms of patients with rare genetic diseases and suggest possible diagnoses based on a database of more than 10,000 rare disease syndromes. Under the terms of the deal, GGC will use Face2Gene to analyze nearly 80,000 undiagnosed cases to generate actionable answers for these patients, identifying new syndrome-related clinical phenotypes, and making rare disease discoveries that can advance overall research. FDNA will use data from these analyses to strengthen its database of known diagnoses.”
