چکیده

We introduce the Ontology of Craniofacial Development and Malformation (OCDM), a project of the NIH-funded FaceBase consortium, whose goal is to gather data from multiple species, at levels ranging from genes to gross anatomy, in order to understand the causes of craniofacial abnormalities. The OCDM is being developed in order to facilitate integration of these diverse forms of data in a central Hub. It currently consists of several components, including human adult and developmental anatomy, corresponding mouse structures, and malformations. Example queries show the potential of the OCDM for intelligent data annotation and querying.

The ontology of craniofacial development and malformation for translational craniofacial research.

We introduce the Ontology of Craniofacial Development and Malformation (OCDM) as a mechanism for representing knowledge about craniofacial development and malformation, and for using that knowledge to facilitate integrating craniofacial data obtained via multiple techniques from multiple labs and at multiple levels of granularity. The OCDM is a project of the NIDCR-sponsored FaceBase Consortium...

A Case Report: Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis

Introduction: Nager syndrome is a malformation resulting from problems in the development of the first and second branchial arches and limb buds. The cause of the abnormal development of the pharyngeal arches in Nager syndrome is unknown. It is also unclear why affected individuals have bone abnormalities in their arms and legs. Nager syndrome is thought to have an autosomal recessive inherita...

Human Development Domain of the Ontology of Craniofacial Development and Malformation

In this paper we describe an ontological scheme for representing anatomical entities undergoing morphological transformation and changes in phenotype during prenatal development. This is a proposed component of the Anatomical Transformation Abstraction (ATA) of the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) Ontology that was created to provide an ontological framework for capturing knowledge about hum...

Multi-species Ontologies of the Craniofacial Musculoskeletal System

We created the Ontology of Craniofacial Development and Malformation (OCDM) [1] to provide a unifying framework for organizing and integrating craniofacial data ranging from genes to clinical phenotypes from multi-species. Within this framework we focused on spatio-structural representation of anatomical entities related to craniofacial development and malformation, such as craniosynostosis and...

Valproic Acid-Induced Time Dependent Craniofacial Defects in Wistar Rat Fetuse

Purpose: we previously reported that maternal valproic acid (VA) administration during rat pregnancy produced CNS defect ranely, syringomyelia. Furthermore, it seems that administration of valproic acid during critical period of pregnancy may affect on development of other embryonic skeletal portion such as craniofacial region. The goal of our study was to determine whether there is a relations...
