2017 Victor A. McKusick Leadership Award1

It is an extraordinary honor to receive this award. I want to thank the ASHG Board and all who had any part in making the award possible. I first encountered Victor McKusick in 1967 while I was a pediatric resident, and I would like to recognize the recent passing of his always present partner, Anne. I view this award as recognition for my participation in building a medical genetics program at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. This effort has involved hundreds of individuals and 46 years. So the recognition goes to a team effort.
