This book is being deliberate as a tribute to Dr. Victor A. McKusick (1921-2008), who's renowned because the “father of clinical genetics”. He was once lengthy linked to the Johns Hopkins college university of medication, first as a pupil within the Nineteen Forties, and later as a school member, changing into the Chairman of the dep. of medication at Johns Hopkins. He used to be a co-founder of GENOMICS and founder and lifetime editor of Mendelian Inheritance in Man, an incredible compendium of human syndromes and genetic editions. Dr. McKusick made individual contributions to all branches of clinical genetics. He was once a member of the U.S. nationwide Academy of Sciences and plenty of different academies on the earth. He was once offered the nationwide Medal of technological know-how in 2002. He got many different honors together with numerous honorary doctorates.
