Journal of investigative dermatologY, 1973•ElsevierSince 1933 great strides have been made in an understanding of the basic mechanisms in
genetic disorders of the skin. Furthermore, study of these disorders has contributed
significantly to the understanding of the normal skin and in some instances to the genetics of
man (Table II). The several contributions in this symposium will further document these
statements. I see a bright future for genetics in dermatology and for dermatology in genetics,
the two domains for which Cockayne wrote his book.
