[Craniofacial anthropometric patterns in genetic facial dysmorphism: methodology and applications].
Craniofacial anthropometric has become an important tool in medical genetics. The method is simple, non-invasive, reliable, and inexpensive. To provide reliable measurements, the method must be conducted with a precise procedure by a trained physician. Anthropometric determination of craniofacial morphology is helpful in identifying and describing syndromes associated with classical techniques. Additional studies may involve new approaches to facial morphogenesis.
