Large-scale open-source three-dimensional growth curves for clinical facial assessment and objective description of facial dysmorphism

Abstract Craniofacial dysmorphism is associated with thousands of genetic and environmental disorders. Delineation of salient facial characteristics can guide clinicians towards a correct clinical diagnosis and understanding the pathogenesis of the disorder. Abnormal facial shape might require crani...
