“…The topic of cerebral palsy, in particular that resulting from kernicterus due to rhesus haemolytic disease, then a common problem in premature infants, set a pattern for the central theme of developmental disorder which would remain the basis of his life's work. His initial papers on this topic (Evans and Polani 1950;Polani 1954) show already how he would use both clinically based observations and experimental animal studies in tandem to approach a problem. But Polani's early interest in genetics remained undimmed; in 1945 Lionel Penrose had been appointed to the Galton Chair of Eugenics (Penrose had it renamed as Human Genetics) at University College, London, and his unit rapidly became the world centre for work in this newly developing field.…”

Paul Polani (1914Polani ( -2006 was one of the key figures internationally in the beginnings and development of medical genetics. Best remembered scientifically for his highly original work on the basis of human sex chromosome disorders, notably Turner syndrome, he pioneered the application of basic biological research to clinical genetic problems. The unit that he founded in 1960, at Guys Hospital, London, provided an unparalleled model for combined research and service in medical genetics across a wide range of laboratory areas and helped to establish medical genetics as a specific discipline.
