Opis produktu

This bookis being planned as a tribute to Dr. Victor A. McKusick (19212008) who is well known as the father of medical geneticsŁ. He was long associated with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine first as a student in the 1940s and later as a faculty member becoming the Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins. He was a cofounder of GENOMICS and founder and lifelong editor of Mendelian Inheritance in Man/ a massive compendium of human syndromes and genetic variants. Dr. McKusick made distinguished contributions to all branches of medical genetics. He was a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and many other academies in the world. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 2002. He received many other honors including several honorary doctorates. /The proposed book will reflect all the fields touched upon by Dr. McKusicks contributions. It will be a valuable source of the latest progress in medical genetics. The contributors are internationally distinguished in their chosen specialties. Besides professional distinction they are being selected because of their past association with Dr. McKusick as former students or colleagues who extended his research in some fashion./The proposed book will reflect all the fields touched upon by Dr. McKusicks contributions.
