Table 4.
Geometric features with significantly different ranges between the normative population and the patients with DS in the DRC that were not selected for classification. Horizontal features (H) are normalized to the distance between the lateral canthi. Vertical features (V) are normalized to the distance between the oral commissures and the lateral canthi.
Feature | Mean: Normal | Std: Normal | Mean: Syndromic | Std: Syndromic | p-value |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Distance between medial and lateral canthi (H) | 0.30 | 0.01 | 0.27 | 0.01 | <0.001 |
Distance between nose alas (H) | 0.43 | 0.03 | 0.46 | 0.04 | <0.001 |
Upper lip width (V) | 0.16 | 0.03 | 0.18 | 0.03 | <0.001 |
Lower lip width (V) | 0.18 | 0.03 | 0.17 | 0.04 | 0.001 |
Angle at the alas of the nose (degrees) | 54.86 | 5.36 | 57.56 | 6.20 | 0.011 |
