Filter by:Birth defects are relatively common, occurring in 1 in 40 live born babies. They can be single, or multiple. They may occur as part of multiple malformation syndromes, often in association with growth disturbance or intellectual disability. Over 7000 rare syndromes have been identified. Thus, though they are rare they are collectively important. Understanding how a multiple malformation syndrome came about, defining what investigations and health surveillance is needed for affected children and identifying whether there is a treatment is very important for parents and professionals caring for affected children and also for genetic counselling of their extended families, since the majority will have a genetic basis. Diagnosis of these rare disorders is therefore important,but as many syndromes are rare this can be extremely difficult and requires specialist knowledge, many investigations and many hospital appointments. This study aims to determine whether using face-recognition software can improve diagnosis of rare syndromes when used in addition to current routine practice.
The investigator aims to examine the clinical utility of WES, including assessment of a variety of health-related and reproductive outcomes in undiagnosed prenatal cases.
