Abstract

Victor A. McKusick has been recognized as the world leading authority in medical genetics. Among his numerous achievements, we should point out his inspiration and the training of a large number of leading geneticists, OMIM, the 'Bar Harbor' courses, and his contribution to the Human Genome Project. Nonetheless, little is known of McKusick's active participation in genetic education of a large number of physicians worldwide. Greece is an example of his frequent presence there, always eager to friendly advice, assist, teach, and offer his vast knowledge and his unique and excellent personality and friendship to everyone around. Victor McKusick's relationship and experience with the Greek genetics community is briefly accounted.
