Date: April 2019. Source: The FASEB Journal, Vol 33, No. 1_supplement. Abstract: Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic birth defect that results from Trisomy 21, which causes an overexpression of human chromosome 21 (HSA21) genes. Overexpressed HSA21 genes disturb development by altering morphogenesis and growth, resulting in cognitive impairment, characteristic facial morphology, and many other…

Date: December 2018. Source: Frontiers in Genetics, VOLUME 9, p 659. DOI=10.3389/fgene.2018.00659. Abstract: Human facial asymmetry is due to a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. To identify genetic influences on facial asymmetry, we developed a method for automated scoring that summarizes local morphology features and their spatial distribution. A genome-wide association study using…
