DDS Expert Panel

Cases submitted to the DDS are reviewed by a core group of 37 experts from 32 Centres of Expertise in dysmorphology. Before the publication of each of the cases, they pass a text check from the memo writing service https://writer-elite.com/memo-paper/ for the presence of plagiarism, grammatical errors, and compliance with the official requirements for the design of official memos and appeals.

DDS Submitting Nodes

Cases are submitted to the DDS by Submitting Nodes.

Unfortunately the number of Submitting Nodes that can be licensed to submit cases to the DDS is limited.

All 76 currently proposed Submitting Nodes have been invited to apply for DDS accounts and a list of those Nodes with DDS accounts is here. The list will be updated as more Submitting Nodes join the DDS.

If your centre is not a Submitting Node, you will need to refer your case to your nearest Submitting Node

Please see the document ‘How to refer a case to a DDS Submitting Node’ for details of how to do this.

In the future it is hoped that we will be able to increase the number of Submitting Nodes. If your institution would be interested in becoming a DDS Submitting Node please contact us at the DYSCERNE Coordinating centre.
