Update on Image Numbers
Coordinating Image Collection For sites without a dedicated camera, will subjects be brought in for Dysmorphology? Do we need to develop alternate plans to ensure image collection? Can we collect longitudinal images at these sites?
Update on Saliva Collection Site Saliva Plans for 2013 San Diego 131 Continue to collect UCLA/USC 45 Atlanta 28 Minneapolis Ukraine 0 (no approval) No plans to initiate South Africa (Jacobson) 225 Only collect if new subjects South Africa (PASS) 0 (collected as part of parent study) No need to initiate
Saliva Collection Collect saliva from all subjects Obtain additional DNA for future studies Appropriate since amount of DNA obtained has varied
Use of DNA for Research GWAS completed in 240 individuals 700,000 SNPs genotyped Variable alcohol exposure and phenotype Data used for candidate gene studies Genotype x alcohol interaction
Zebrafish Model: Gene Pathways Collaboration with Johann Eberhart (Pilot Study) Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) 5 genes Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) 4 genes Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) 2 genes Examine 5 facial phenotypes related to craniofacial abnormalities seen in the zebrafish model
PDGFRB and midfacial depth
Use of DNA for Research DNA will be made available to Dipak Sarkar (Pilot Study) Plans in place to perform another GWAS or similar technology in later years of the grant Remain in contact with PASS investigators (Ingrid Holm) to ensure coordination with genetic studies
Collaboration with PASS Submitted request for data from DM-STAT for PASS subjects with images Received growth measurements which will be used in initial analyses Cannot receive alcohol exposure data for several years
PROGRESS ON 4 OTHER OBJECTIVES Develop a screening tool that would utilize the data from the 3D facial images and could be widely used to accurately identify individuals with a high likelihood of alcohol exposure Recruit and analyze facial imaging data from very young populations to develop a screening tool that accurately identifies high risk individuals for future intervention Combine face images, neurobehavioral data and brain images to identify common pathways and hence improve diagnosis of prenatal alcohol exposure Extend existing and develop novel techniques and associated software to cope with demands of larger datasets and more diverse comparison of controls, alcohol exposed and other developmentally delayed subjects while accommodating multiple anatomical images per subject

PARCELLATION PIPELINE AUTOMATIC STRUCTURAL PARCELLATION PIPELINE Non-uniform intensity normalization (N3) [1] Create brain mask (MAPS) [2] Image registrations An iterative approach to estimate the true tissue intensities and normalise their values Create mask to eliminate everything but the brain region Perform non rigid registration, warping each image into correspondence with every other Perform segmentation based on single atlas to produce segmented image Repeat process optimizing the altas on each iteration. The parameter of multi-atlas segmentation propagation was optimized by running different combinations within the atlas and find the combination that can achieve the highest segmentation performance Single-Atlas segmentation propagation Multi-Atlas Segmentation Propagation Parameter optimisation [1] Sled et al. 1998 IEEE transactions on medical imaging [2] Leung et al. 2011 NeuroImage
