Hall","doi":"10.1002/ajmg.c.32121","DOIUrl":"10.1002/ajmg.c.32121","url":null,"abstract":"<p>In 1972, I returned from my training to join the faculty and staff at the Children's Hospital in Seattle to establish a Medical Genetics service. A remarkable orthopedist had the far-sighted idea of having an arthrogryposis clinic where all of the specialties came together on the same day, saw 10 to 15 families and then met at the end of the day to share their views. Before that, families would have to go on different days to see different specialists and the specialists never met with each other, although they had access to their different notes. Although such multidisciplinary clinics have become commonplace, this was a revolutionary idea at the time. Given my relative inexperience, I had no idea how revolutionary it was.</p><p>I was just finding my way as a professional. I had three small children and a physician husband—so as I multitasked, I didn't do a lot of reflection. I was just trying to do my new job. I was the medical geneticist in this multidisciplinary clinic who was meant to be sorting out different types of arthrogryposis. The orthopedist also wanted to produce a book for families on the various aspects of arthrogryposis care (Staheli et al. <span>1998</span>). I wasn't at all sure I could contribute a chapter on the genetic aspects of arthrogryposis.</p><p>There were very few women physicians back then. I realize now we were the “Silent Generation” and each generation is different. We were called the silent generation because we just put our heads down and focused on what needed to get done.</p><p>The very first family I saw were monozygotic (MZ) twins where one was affected and the other was not. How could this happen? It seemed unfair and baffling to a geneticist. But it was a harbinger of things to come.</p><p>Subsequently, I have been in touch with that family over the years as the boys grew up. Both were very smart, although the mother always felt the one with arthrogryposis was the smartest and a problem solver. Both went to university and graduate school. Both ending up in academia in the sciences with faculty appointments. Both married and had children. Their mother was persistently curious about how only one MZ twin could possibly have such a disabling disorder requiring so much special care and attention, but do very well spite of it. Also, of course, she worried, as all families do, about recurrence for both boys and future generations. Fortunately, these were unnecessary worries as no one else in the family has been affected and we have come to learn over the years Amyoplasia does not recur in subsequent generations, but does have higher incidence in one of MZ twins (Hall, Aldinger, and Tanaka <span>2014</span>). Mom and the boys continue to ask questions every time we were in touch, and they have stimulated my curiosity about how MZ twinning could be discordant, initiating my lifelong interest in the mysteries of MZ twinning (Hall <span>2021a</span>; Hall <span>2021b</span>).
