“…3 | 1960 In 1960, McKusick published a paper in the Journal of Chronic Disease entitled "Medical Genetics, 1959," which summarized key events that had occurred in 1959 in the burgeoning field (McKusick, 1960). Similar synopses were published in 1963 and 1964 in the same journal (McKusick, 1963;McKusick, 1964a). McKusick continued to play a role in updating physicians about advances in the field of medical genetics, with papers in Hospital Practice in 1976and 1985(McKusick, 1976McKusick, 1985) and in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1989, 1990, and 1993(Caskey & McKusick, 1990McKusick, 1989a;McKusick, 1993b).…”

Victor McKusick's contributions to the field of medical genetics are legendary and include his contributions as a mentor, as creator of Mendelian Inheritance in Man (now Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [OMIM®]), and as a leader in the field of medical genetics. McKusick's full bibliography includes 772 publications. Here we review the 453 papers authored by McKusick and indexed in PubMed, from his earliest paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1949 to his last paper published in American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A in 2008. This review of his bibliography chronicles McKusick's evolution from an internist and cardiologist with an interest in genetics to an esteemed leader in the growing field of medical genetics. Review of his bibliography also provides a historical perspective of the development of the discipline of medical genetics. This field came into its own during his lifetime, transitioning from the study of interesting cases and families used to codify basic medical genetics principles to an accredited medical specialty that is expected to transform healthcare. Along the way, he helped to unite the fields of medical and human genetics to focus on mapping the human genome, culminating in completion of the Human Genome Project. This review confirms the critical role played by Victor McKusick as the founding father of medical genetics.

“…Although I wrote "Marfan's syndrome" in March 1955 (44), it was always "Marfan syndrome" beginning with the first edition of Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue (1956) (45). In all my writings since then, such as the annotated annual reviews of medical genetics (74,76) …”

“…The conception of Mendelian Inheritance in Man was rooted in the annual annotated reviews of medical genetics my colleagues and I prepared in six successive years, 1958-1963, inclusive (74,76). Soon after the genetics program in the Moore Clinic was founded on July 1, 1957, an effective journal club was initiated with the ambitious intention of comprehensive review of the current literature relevant to medical genetics.…”

“…The last of the six annual reviews of medical genetics for the Journal of Chronic Diseases was that for the year 1963 (75). By that time the usefulness of genetic studies in the Amish had come to my attention through the unpublished manuscript of John Hostetler's Amish Society, and through a story in a drug company "throw away" about a physician in Lancaster County, Dr. David Krusen, who had many Amish patients, including some with dwarfism.…”
