An 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. Here we introduce the anatomy of the male and female genitalia, and define and illustrate the terms that describe the major characteristics of these body regions. Published 2013.

一个从事畸形学领域工作的国际临床医生小组已启动用于描述人类形态学术语的标准化工作。目标是使这些术语标准化并就其定义达成共识。通过这种方式，我们将提高人类表型描述的实用性，并促进患者间研究结果的可靠比较。与畸形学及相关领域（如发育生物学和分子遗传学）的其他研究人员的讨论将变得更加精确。在此，我们介绍男性和女性生殖器的解剖结构，并定义和阐释描述这些身体部位主要特征的术语。2013年发表。本文为美国政府作品，在美国属于公共领域。
