Deep phenotyping is an emerging trend in precision medicine for genetic disease. The shape of the face affected 30-40% known syndromes. Here, we determine whether syndromes can be diagnosed from 3D images human faces.We analyzed variation three-dimensional (3D) facial 7057 subjects: 3327 with 396 different syndromes, 727 their relatives, and 3003 unrelated, unaffected subjects. We developed tested machine learning parametric approaches to automated syndrome diagnosis using images.Unrelated,...
Background: Data from the fields of genetics, neuroimaging, and animal studies, along with case reports small clinical trials, point to a role for glutamatergic dysfunction in pathophysiology obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
