These aims will be achieved by:

• The creation of a European network of existing centres of expertise in dysmorphology.
• Development of a web-based dysmorphology diagnostic system (DDS)
• Development and wide dissemination of clinical management guidelines for selected dysmorphic conditions.

The project is a partnership between six existing centres of expertise in dysmorphology from; Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and the UK.   The University of Manchester is the coordinating partner for the project. The UK team is lead by Professor Jill Clayton-Smith from the Manchester Regional Genetic Service, and the project support team is based at Nowgen - A Centre for Genetics in Healthcare.
