description: n international group of clinicians working in the field of dysmorphology
  has initiated the standardization of terms used to describe human morphology. The
  goals are to standardize these terms and reach consensus regarding their definitions.
  In this way, we will increase the utility of descriptions of the human phenotype
  and facilitate reliable comparisons of findings among patients. Discussions with
  other workers in dysmorphology and related fields, such as developmental biology
  and molecular genetics, will become more precise. [from homepage]
