Abstract

This is an account of almost 60 years' experience in the clinical delineation of genetic disorders, mapping genes on chromosomes, and cataloging human disease-related genes and genetic disorders. The origins of medical genetics as a clinical specialty, of the Human Genome Project, of genomics (including the term), and of HUGO are recounted.
