With just a photo, this algorithm can do more than spot a possible genetic condition — it can suggest a cause
Five different gene mutations lead to Noonan syndrome. This algorithm can predict which one, based on little more than a selfie.
Some people’s faces — or even just a photo of them — hint at the genes they carry. And now, an algorithm can predict not only whether they carry a genetic mutation, but which genes were mutated.
The , published Monday in Nature Medicine, is the latest from a Boston-based company called FDNA, one of a that can help physicians diagnose genetic syndromes based just on a face — and may serve an important validation of the company’s technology, said Yaron
