Popis: BACKGROUND Delays in the diagnosis of genetic syndromes are common, particularly in low and middle-income countries with limited access to genetic screening services. We, therefore, aimed to develop and evaluate a machine learning-based screening technology using facial photographs to evaluate a child's risk of presenting with a genetic syndrome for use at the point of care. METHODS In this retrospective study, we developed a facial deep phenotyping technology based on deep neural networks and facial statistical shape models to screen children for genetic syndromes. We trained the machine learning models on facial photographs from children (aged
