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.
