I am excited to be a part of the FDNA community, promoting broad information sharing with my peers to amplify the scientific and clinical value of our community’s accumulated knowledge for the purpose of efficiently diagnosing individuals with rare genetic disorders.Ĭhief, Division of Medical Genetics A.I. Professor of Pediatrics UCSF, Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics Stanford Professor Emerita of Pediatrics & Medical Genetics UBC & Children's and Women's Health Centre of BCįDNA has been “right on the money”, providing me with relevant, accurate and insightful information for differential diagnoses. Ibrahim Akalin, MD, Medical Geneticist from the Istanbul Medeniyet University, Istanbul, TurkeyįDNA’s game-changing technology introduces an objective computer-aided dimension to the “art of dysmorphology”, transforming the analysis into an evidence-based science.Ĭhairman of FDNA’s Scientific Advisory Board & Steering Committee and Editor in Chief of Clinical GeneticsįDNA is developing technology that has the potential to help so many physicians and families by bringing them closer to a diagnosis- there are literally millions of individuals with unusual features around the world that lack a diagnosis and therefore lack information on natural history, recurrence risk and prevention of known complications. Using Face2Gene to reference all my department’s cases, share information with my colleagues and quickly look up relevant information in the London Medical Databases Online saves me hours of work every week and allows me to focus on my patients.Īssoc.

Baraitser for their decades-long efforts in developing this resource, and for now ensuring its legacy continues through uniting with Face2Gene.
