More regarding the info from an EDS link on facial features in EDS -


People with EDS have a tendency to have large almond shaped eyes - widely spaced, broad cheekbones, heart-shaped face, thinner lips and, sometimesattached earlobes.


I saw this snippet on ABC TV
ABC 24 TV Saturday 1130 AM 4th May 2013 State to State


Perth Face Space Project

Facial imaging testing - - a new research initiative

Dr Mark Walters, cranio-maxo-facial specialist and Dr Gareth ?Beynam, Clinical Geneticist
Western Australia are assembling a reference bank of young faces.

They photograph in 3-D the faces and heads of kids from 1 month through to 25 years old
study healthy youth for later illnesses -( too )

digital photography with multiple lenses creates a virtual 3-D image

They are looking for facial signatures or patterns of variation
clues to predict the onset of rare diseases.

The program filters out normal variance noise

quick and efficient and gives reliable information
Australia is hoping to develop and export this technology.

Interesting,
cheers,
