DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Advances in imaging, genome technology, subclinical phenotyping, embryology and other investigative disciplines have provided unique opportunities for developing a better understanding of mid-face development. Clefts that involve the mid-face, in particular those of the lip and the palate are among the most common birth defects and create life-long challenges for affected individuals. These concerns include repeated surgeries, as well as speech, behavior, dental and long-term health issues such as increased risks for cancer and delayed cognitive development. We have assembled a team of committed and experienced craniofacial researchers, plus experts in bioinformatics and computer science, to develop a Face Base Hub that will facilitate research, clinical, and educational activities related to facial development. Our Face Base team consists of collaborators who have worked well together for many years and who bring far-reaching and complementary expertise to the Hub. Our Hub will provide a Face Base web portal, access to extensive databases of both human and animal model data (such as genotypes, sequence data, expression data, facial images and other phenotypes) and a comprehensive set of web-based tools to enhance research opportunities. It will focus on integrating data from diverse sources and models, and to foster translational research in cleft lip and palate. The Hub will provide a forum for connecting investigators, and opportunities to maintain updated information in real-time on research and clinical aspects of cleft lip and palate. It will include educational and biorepository activities that will enhance clinical and public understanding of, and involvement in, facial research. We will build on existing bioinformatic infrastructures that can be adopted for Face Base, utilizing partnerships with such programs as CaBIG, the UCSC genome-browser, and Wikipedia. The outcome will be a significant increase in the ability to rapidly advance craniofacial research, new educational and outreach activities to enhance public and professional awareness of mid-face defects and a future model for broadening these activities across other dental and craniofacial disorders. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The Face Base Hub will provide a common place to bring together the research and clinical communities involved with cleft lip and palate. It will enable scientists to have easily accessible information even before it is published to foster a sense of common purpose in working on these important birth defects. The Hub will also provide clinical updates and educational materials accessible to families and to researchers.

描述（由申请人提供）：成像、基因组技术、亚临床表型、胚胎学和其他研究学科的进步为更好地了解中面部发育提供了独特的机会。涉及中面部的裂痕，特别是唇裂和腭裂，是最常见的出生缺陷之一，给受影响的个体带来终生挑战。这些担忧包括重复手术，以及言语、行为、牙科和长期健康问题，例如癌症风险增加和认知发育迟缓。我们组建了一支由忠诚且经验丰富的颅面研究人员以及生物信息学和计算机科学专家组成的团队，开发了一个面部基础中心，该中心将促进与面部发育相关的研究、临床和教育活动。我们的 Face Base 团队由多年合作良好的合作者组成，他们为中心带来了影响深远且互补的专业知识。我们的中心将提供一个 Face Base 门户网站，可访问人类和动物模型数据的广泛数据库（例如基因型、序列数据、表达数据、面部图像和其他表型）以及一套全面的基于网络的工具来加强研究机会。它将专注于整合来自不同来源和模型的数据，并促进唇裂和腭裂的转化研究。该中心将为连接研究人员提供一个论坛，并提供实时更新唇腭裂研究和临床方面信息的机会。它将包括教育和生物样本库活动，以增强临床和公众对面部研究的理解和参与。我们将利用与 CaBIG、UCSC 基因组浏览器和维基百科等项目的合作伙伴关系，以可用于 Face Base 的现有生物信息学基础设施为基础。其结果将是显着提高快速推进颅面研究的能力，开展新的教育和外展活动，以提高公众和专业人士对中面部缺陷的认识，以及将这些活动扩展到其他牙科和颅面疾病的未来模型。 公共健康相关性：Face Base Hub 将提供一个公共场所，将唇裂和腭裂相关的研究和临床社区聚集在一起。它将使科学家能够在信息发布之前就轻松获取信息，以培养研究这些重要出生缺陷的共同目标感。该中心还将向家庭和研究人员提供临床更新和教育材料。
