FaceKit: a Toolkit for Interpretable Facial Phenotyping, Synthetic Image Generation and Privacy Analysis in Rare Diseases

Key points

• Many rare genetic diseases are associated with recognizable craniofacial features.1
• We evaluated FaceKit on a curated subset of the GestaltMatcher Database covering 50 rare-disease cohorts.1
• In addition to quantitative facial analysis, FaceKit includes synthetic facial image generation to support rare disease model development and data augmentation.1
• Across disease case studies, FaceKit-derived quantitative measurements captured known facial features associated with rare genetic disorders and provided objective support for clinical phenotyping.1
