Characterizing facial features in individuals with craniofacial microsomia: A systematic approach for clinical research

ConclusionWe developed a standardized approach for integrating multiple data sources to phenotype individuals with CFM, and created subgroups based on clinically‐meaningful, shared characteristics. We hope that this system can be used to explore associations between phenotype and clinical outcomes of children with CFM and to identify the etiology of CFM.
