“…The continuous and intense work would have helped the artist to maintain the use of his hands as long as possible [28]. There are several studies that are represented in the scientific literature and that give us an idea of how to use a multidisciplinary team for research on particular pathologies and offer students suggestions for the development of clinical skills [29][30][31].…”

Medical Humanities approach is becoming an important action in the health curriculum. Art can play a central role in the training of care staff for the development of skills and for the humanization of the therapeutic path. The application of art as a tool for learning and its historical relationship with medicine can be a valid support for the development of skills such as observation, active listening, problem solving and empathy, useful for improving the profession and the relationship with the patient. It is possible to rediscover the link between art, medicine, and care to help health professionals to improve their activities and resilience. Particular methods such as that of the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) can help health students and professionals to become better actors in the care context.

“…An extensive analysis of the “Habsburg jaw” (Peacock et al, 2014) has been refocused to the figure of the individual with dwarfism (Klein, Houten, & Peacock, 2021). We hope that readers will find the review of the related literature a valuable research and teaching tool (Toriello, 2021).…”

Today's medical genetics covers a vast territory that ranges from the minutiae of deep sequencing to the details of the clinical picture to the expansive breadth of global population-based studies. Dysmorphology skills help to standardize the description of the physical phenotype, further allowing for precise clinical-genetic correlations to be established. Not surprisingly, physicians over the centuries have repurposed dysmorphology in the effort to diagnose medical conditions in works of art and antiquities. Geneticists have recognized that syndromes and birth defects are portrayed in statues and paintings ranging from ancient sculptures to more recent European art (Emery & Emery, 1994). For many, a visit to a museum is transformed by the discovery of a sculpture or painting that hints at a genetic basis to a physical difference or unusual facial feature. This unique issue of the Seminars of the American Journal of Medical Genetics strives for a fresh perspective, expanding beyond portraits by European masters to a global examination of varied media.The authors have tried to convey the viewpoint of the subject and the culture with respect and empathy. We were attuned to the use of potentially offensive terms (e.g., "dwarf," "monster," "creature") and acknowledged their historical context if the authors were unable to remove or substitute. We are aware that an article might be read by a parent or person with the disorder or malformation being discussed, and we made our best effort to remove hurtful terms.Nonetheless, we apologize to any individual who might be distressed.
