GestaltMatcher Database (GMDB) is a collection of curated medical photography of genetic syndromes as a resource for clinician and computer scientists and a service operated by the Association for Genome Diagnostics (AGD), which is a registered non-for-profit organization in Germany. GMDB aims to improve the openness and accessibility of scientific findings and to enhance collaboration amongst researchers and clinicians. GMDB is a non-profit community resource and is not linked to any one publisher or journal.
We politely request that any use of data obtained from the GestaltMatcher Database browser cite the GestaltMatcher flagship paper and any online resources that include the data set provide a link to the browser. There is no need to include us as authors on your manuscript, unless we contributed specific advice or analysis for your work.
