Face2Gene

Face2Gene registration form

Face2Gene, made by the company FDNA, is used by doctors and genetic counselors around the world. It looks at a person's facial photograph together with their clinical information, then gives a ranked list of genetic conditions that may match, including ReNU2.

• How to Enroll

  There are two routes, depending on whether your family member already has a diagnosis.

  • Already diagnosed with ReNU2: fill in the Face2Gene registration form to submit photos. Your photos help train Face2Gene to recognize ReNU2.

  • No genetic diagnosis yet: go to the FDNA Family Health Checker and enter the code RENU01. You'll answer some questions, then upload photos to get a report of "best-matched conditions." Please take that report to your doctor or genetic counselor.

• Overview

  Face2Gene uses artificial intelligence (AI) to compare facial features in photographs with features known to be linked to genetic conditions. It is a tool to support doctors, not a diagnosis on its own.

• Why Participate

  Each photo from a family with a confirmed ReNU2 diagnosis helps the tool learn what ReNU2 can look like. Over time, this may help doctors think of ReNU2 sooner for families still searching for answers.

• Who Can Participate

  • People with a confirmed ReNU2 diagnosis can submit photos through the registration form.

  • People without a genetic diagnosis can use the Family Health Checker. This option is currently only available to US residents.

  • The Family Health Checker report can currently suggest dominant ReNU and dominant ReNU2, but not yet recessive ReNU2.
