- Disentangling the environmental factors and relative parental biological contributions to heritable traits can help to answer the age-old question why we look the way that we do?. Genome-wide association study of three-dimensional facial morphology identifies a variant in PAX3 associated with nasion position. Other possible benefits that have been explored include: the fitness advantages of hair color (Adhikari et al., 2016; Hysi et al., 2018), nasal shape and climate adaptation (Zaidi et al., 2017) and the benefits of darker skin pigmentation (Wilde et al., 2014; Aelion et al., 2016).

Focusing on specific phenotypes and genetic variants in families will identify additional rare variants should be followed-up with a combination of genotyping and deep re-sequencing of the variants or genes of interest in large numbers of cases and controls. In addition, anthropometric masks have been proposed whereby five landmarks are used to crudely orientate the 3D facial shells which are then non-rigidly mapped on to a template which generates about 10,000 quasi landmarks (Claes et al., 2012). Presumably because of frequent consanguineous marriages, later Habsburg rulers often had extreme facial phenotypes such as the characteristic Habsburg jaw (mandibular prognathism). (2018).

Almond-shaped, heavy eyes are characteristic of Cherokee Indians, a trait that is due to an extra fold in the eyelid. Last year, the dark-skinned, blue-eyed facial reconstruction of Cheddar Man, a 10,000-year-old British resident, made international headlines and sparked discussions about native identity in a nation grappling with Brexit and issues of migration..

T., Cronin, A., Djordjevic, J., et al. - Highlighting what is known about shared facial traits, medical conditions and genes. Many of the previously discussed genetic variants associated with facial traits in GWAS reside in non-protein coding regions of the genome with unclear functional relevance. The disruption of neuro-facial developmental and maturational processes can lead to widespread and long-lasting abnormalities in central nervous system structure and functions and some of these disturbances will also be accompanied with subtle differences in facial features (Hennessy et al., 2010). 2016:3054578. doi: 10.1155/2016/3054578, Ruiz-Linares, A., Adhikari, K., Acua-Alonzo, V., Quinto-Sanchez, M., Jaramillo, C., Arias, W., et al. doi: 10.1002/rcs.141. 17:487. doi: 10.1038/nrg.2016.59, Alvizi, L., Ke, X., Brito, L.

The determination of facial appearance, health history and future health risk from DNA is has great potential (Claes et al., 2014; Kayser, 2015; Toom et al., 2016) but caution should be expressed with respect to assumptions, interpretation and individual confidentiality as there is a significant threat to an individual in obtaining healthcare insurance (Hallgrimsson et al., 2014; Idemyor, 2014; Toom et al., 2016).

Information on an individuals facial morphology can have several important clinical and forensic applications; informing patient specific models, improving and reducing the need for extensive surgical interventions for craniofacial anomalies/trauma, prediction/reconstruction of the facial form from skeletal remains, and identification of suspects from DNA (Stephan et al., 2005; De Greef et al., 2006; Wilkinson et al., 2006; Beldie et al., 2010; Popat et al., 2010, 2012; Richmond et al., 2012; Al Ali et al., 2014a; Shrimpton et al., 2014; Farnell et al., 2017; Richmond S. et al., 2018). doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0162250, Evans, D.

This has been proposed as a method to build a profile of facial features from a sample of DNA (Claes et al., 2014) but could also be used to determine previous health history or future health risks (Idemyor, 2014). There is no one answer to this question as everyone has their own unique facial features. Tartan.

Early growth genetics consortium. - Many factors such as ancestry, sex, eye/hair color as well as distinctive facial features (such as, shape of the chin, cheeks, eyes, forehead, lips, and nose) can be identified or estimated using an individuals genetic data, with potential applications in healthcare and forensics.

Features related to appearance are also often sexually dimorphic, possibly as a result of sexual and natural selection. (2008). Similarly, genetic variations associated with normal-range facial differences have been linked to genes involved in Mendelian syndromes such as TBX15 (Cousin syndrome) (Shaffer et al., 2017; Claes et al., 2018), PAX1 (Otofaciocervical syndrome) (Shaffer et al., 2016) and PAX3 (Waardenburg syndrome) (Paternoster et al., 2012).

For this reason, ancestral markers are often included in facial prediction models (Claes et al., 2014; Ruiz-Linares et al., 2014; Lippert et al., 2017). Identifying genetic variants influencing facial phenotypes can lead to improved etiological understanding of craniofacial anomalies, advances in forensic prediction using DNA and testing of evolutionary hypotheses.

Firstly we have to put in mind that that both the Celtic and Germanic are a Northern and Central European people. Thus as Europeans from those regi Historically, craniofacial genetic research has understandably focused on identifying the causes of craniofacial anomalies and it has only been within the last 10 years, that there has been a drive to detail the biological basis of normal-range facial variation. 7 Articles, This article is part of the Research Topic, Acquiring Facial Surface Morphology and Describing/Quantifying Facial Shape, Disentangling Genetic and Environmental Factors, Understanding the Etiology of Craniofacial Anomalies, Shared Influences of Facial and Other Traits, Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). 3. 24, 286292.

There have been nine GWAS studies and it is appropriate to try and integrate their findings through a meta-analysis. Indeed, the last Habsburg King of Spain, Charles II, was reported to have had difficulties eating and speaking because of facial deformities. Most modern Celts have dark hair and a red beard. In addition, there is evidence of pleiotropy, quantitative phenotypes and Mendelian traits all influencing multiple phenotypes suggesting a large number of loci contribute additively to facial variation.

Indeed, a previous study demonstrated that a major risk locus for non-syndromic cleft lip/palate (nsCL/P), in a non-coding interval, is involved in the regulation of gene expression in the developing murine face (Uslu et al., 2014) while another study found some evidence that nsCL/P genetic variants may influence nsCL/P risk via changes in DNA methylation and gene expression (Howe et al., 2018b). doi: 10.1016/j.toxrep.2015.05.011, Mitchem, D.

Post-natally, facial growth tends to follow general somatic growth with periods of steady increments in size interspersed with periods of rapid growth with the peak growth occurring at puberty (Tanner et al., 1966a,b; Bhatia et al., 1979; Kau and Richmond, 2008; Richmond et al., 2009; Richmond S. et al., 2018). The analytical techniques (particularly the bootstrapped response-based imputation modeling (BRIM) and hierarchical spectral clustering analysis) employed by Claes et al. doi: 10.1111/joa.12182, Mirghani, H., Osman, N., Dhanasekaran, S., Elbiss, H.

A genome-wide association study of cleft lip with and without cleft palate identifies risk variants near MAFB and ABCA4. The assessment of facial variation in 4747 British school children. doi: 10.1038/ng.3570, Pirttiniemi, P. M. (1994). The influence of snoring, mouth breathing and apnoea on facial morphology in late childhood: a three-dimensional study. Genet. For infants and individuals with unpredictable facial or bodily movements a faster acquisition time will be required although reliability of achieving the same facial posture will be significantly reduced. Investigating the shared genetics of non-syndromic cleft lip/palate and facial morphology. Although, it is known that the PAX3 influences the prominence of the bridge of the nose it is more challenging to know to what extent this influences adjacent facial regions in each individual. 115, 5173.

This initiative has been facilitated by the availability of low-cost hi-resolution three-dimensional systems which have the ability to capture the facial details of thousands of individuals quickly and accurately.
