,Memories of the Moore Clinic, 1960–1965,cause McKusick remained firmly embedded in general internal medicine, he was able to bring a wide variety of different fields of research into the development of this new specialty. This short appreciation to the work of McKusick is based on reminiscences of the activities of the Moore Clinic in the early 1960s.

Cytogenetics and Early Days at the Moore Clinic with Victor McKusick,some gene maps were essential for advancing human genetics. Cytogenetics was also set to play a key role in the future development of medical genetics practice. This snapshot of those who worked at the Moore Clinic in those early days, with a brief mention of some of their contributions, is given in appreciation of the debt we all owe to Victor.
