FaceBase: Engaging Community to Address Craniofacial Disorders

FaceBase is a community engagement tool focused on understanding, treating, and preventing craniofacial disorders. Established in 2009, it serves as a hub for collaborative efforts, including research on connections in UCSC Browser, Gene Wiki contributions, biorepository management, and genetic counseling. The platform allows for sample intake, processing, and storage considerations, covering various components like blood, tissues, and saliva. With a focus on consent and distribution, FaceBase aims to support individuals affected by craniofacial disorders and their families.
