OUTLINE OF THE CAREER OF MALCOLM ANDREW FERGUSON-SMITH Malcolm Andrew Ferguson-Smith was born in Glasgow on 1931, the son of the distinguished physician and dermatologist John Ferguson-Smith. He graduated in medicine (MB, ChB) from Glasgow University in 1955 and held House Physician and House Surgeon posts at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow, 1955-1956 and was Senior House Officer and Registrar in Pathology, 1956-1958. While undertaking postgraduate training in pathology he was introduced to research on sex chromatin under Bernard Lennox. Their buccal smear surveys revealed for the first time the high frequency of Klinefelters Syndrome among subfertile males and those with learning difficulties. Unsuccessful Gzowska. Syndrome and true hermaphroditism. During his time in America he met and married Marie Eve on chromosomes with V.A. McKusick, for nearly three years. Here he established the first human University in 1961. He was appointed successively Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Reader, becoming continuing his research in the USA, with appointment as Fellow in Medicine at the School of Medicine, the first Burton Professor of Medical Genetics in 1973. His duties included teaching genetics to first Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, in 1959. Ferguson-Smith remained at Johns Hopkins, working and fourth year medical students and the establishment of a Regional Genetics Service for a efforts to undertake chromosome analysis in these patients during 1957-1958 led to Ferguson-Smith Ferguson-Smith returned to the Department of Genetics (Head, Guido Pontecorvo) at Glasgow chromosome diagnostic laboratory in the USA and undertook cytogenetic research into the Turner mammalian sex determining gene twenty-five years later. The work on translocations in pachytene, chromosome polymorphisms, deletion mapping, in situ hybridisation and chromosome sorting by flow cytogenetics service provided opportunities for contributing to the human gene map using familial diagnostic laboratories, prenatal diagnosis for chromosome and metabolic disorders, prenatal population of three million in the West of Scotland. This comprised a network of counselling clinics, cytometry. His work on mapping the Y-linked sex determinant in XX males led to the isolation of the screening facilities for spina bifida and neonatal screening for hypothyroidism. The clinical M.A. Ferguson-Smith NCUACS 161/4/08 gene mapping through chromosome deletion and by in situ hybridisation. proved to be first descriptions in the human genetics literature. He also participated extensively in all eleven international Human Gene Mapping Workshops from 1973 to 1991. _In all these areas of diagnosis and research he was supported by his wife, Marie, and an exceptional team of researchers and technicians. During this period he published on many other aspects of human meiosis, clinical genetics, antenatal diagnosis and human chromosome mapping. His work received grant support from the Medical Research Council, the Scottish Home and Health Department, the Scottish Hospitals Endowment Trust and a number of medical charities. An initiative by the charity Action Research for the Crippled Child, with which Ferguson-Smith had a close connection, led to the building of the Duncan Guthrie Institute of Medical Genetics in Glasgow in 1980. In 2004 his contributions to developing genetics services in the West of Scotland were publicly acknowledged with a new clinical genetics centre for the west of Scotland at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow being named the Ferguson-Smith Centre. In 1987 Ferguson-Smith was appointed Professor and Head of the Department of Pathology at Cambridge University and Director of the East Anglia Regional Genetics Service. He led research on gene isolation, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) techniques, reverse chromosome painting and studies in karyotype evolution using chromosome sorting and cross-species chromosome painting. He retired as Head of Pathology in 1998 and he and his team moved to the Cambridge Connor, Essential Medical Genetics, which ran to many British and overseas editions. Ferguson-Smith’s expertise as a medical geneticist was called on in a number of other capacities. In distributed chromosome-specific DNA from over 120 species of animals, birds and fish to scientists throughout the world for research in biology, evolution, gene mapping and cancer. This data led to into genomic evolution. The cross-species chromosome homology maps generated by these studies were made available in a database (www.chromhome.org). An important aspect of the research of the and their discovery and characterisation of the unique ten sex chromosome system of the platypus. Ferguson-Smith published extensively, including an undergraduate textbook co-authored with J.M. between species mapped, so allowing detailed studies of relationships between species and research Centre for Comparative Genomics, with Wellcome Trust support. The Centre produced and Ferguson-Smith laboratory at the Vet School was on the evolution of vertebrate sex determination University Department of Veterinary Medicine. In 2002 he established the Cambridge Resource many collaborative studies and allowed cross-species comparisons to be made and homologies Amateur Athletic Federation set up a Working Group on Gender Verification. Ferguson-Smith served the 1970 Edinburgh Commonwealth Games. He declined, arguing that the method of testing (the sex chromatin or buccal smear test) would be more likely unfairly to exclude women athletes than detect 1969 he was approached by the British Olympic Committee to administer the tests for competitors for cheats. The buccal smear test was challenged again in the 1980s and in 1991 the International M.A. Ferguson-Smith NCUACS 161/4/08 on this Working Group which called for an end to genetics-based gender verification and its replacement with a health test for all athletes. It met with gradual success until in 1999 the IOC abandoned genetics based testing for the Sydney Olympics. In 1998 Ferguson-Smith was appointed as the scientist member of Lord Phillips’ Committee on the UK Government's BSE Inquiry which reviewed the emergence of BSE and new variant CJD and the action taken in response to it. It reported in 2000 (the Phillips Report) and included some criticisms of the scientific and the Government response to the crisis. Ferguson-Smith held a number of honorary administrative posts, including Vice-President of the Genetical Society (1978-1981), President of the Clinical Genetics Society (1979-1981), President of the European Society of Human Genetics (1997-1998), President of the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis (1998-2002) and President of the Association of Clinical Cytogeneticists (2002- 2005). He was a founding member and served on the Council of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) and on the Scientific Advisory Board of the UK Human Genome Mapping Project. He was the founding editor of the journal Prenatal Diagnosis (1980) and served on the editorial boards of a number of journals (1973-2008) including the journal Cytogenetics and its successor (1961-1982). Honours accorded to Ferguson-Smith included election to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1978 and the Royal Society of London in 1983, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1993 and the Academy of Medical Sciences in 1998. He received Honorary Doctorates in Science from Strathclyde (1992) and Glasgow (2002) Universities and was made an Honorary Associate of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2002. Overseas honours included The material covers the period 1957-2008. The archive is dominated by Ferguson-Smith’s very Section A, Biographical, is not extensive. It includes a number of biographical accounts of Ferguson- election as a Foreign Member of the Polish Academy of Science and of the National Academy of Development of medical genetics at principally relates to research grants held by Ferguson-Smith, chiefly from the Medical Research Council, from 1961 to 1998. It includes grants for research into Multiple Self-healing Squamous Section B, Medical genetics, is divided into three subsections. The first, Research and reports, concerning his return to Glasgow 1959-1963, and later material from his move to Cambridge as Smith’s life and career to date. There is correspondence relating to his early career, particularly Professor of Pathology in 1987. The section also includes a copy of his Bibliography. Epithelioma (MSSE), a condition first identified by his father. Medicine of Buenos Aires. DESCRIPTION OF THE COLLECTION substantial correspondence. M.A. Ferguson-Smith NCUACS 161/4/08 Glasgow, the second subsection, includes correspondence and memoranda relating to the development of the field as an academic study and as clinical practice, including accommodation for Ferguson-Smith’s department culminating in the opening of the Duncan Guthrie Institute of Medical Genetics in 1981. The third subsection, Development of medical genetics at Cambridge, is chiefly correspondence regarding the proposal for and establishment of a Centre for Medical Genetics at Cambridge, and later developments. Section C, Correspondence, is the largest in the archive. The main sequences of letters 1959-2002, both incoming and outgoing, are organised following Ferguson-Smith’s own arrangement; chronologically by group of years and then alphabetically within each group. This correspondence records the full range of Ferguson-Smith’s activities at Glasgow and from 1987 at Cambridge as university academic, as genetic consultant advising doctors and patients, and as director of a major medical genetics service serving millions of people. It is consequently very diverse. There is correspondence with scientific colleagues, including C.O. Carter, J.H. Edwards, A.E.H. Emery, C.E. Ford and V.A. McKusick; prospective and former researchers; with university and hospital colleagues; with doctors in general practice, patients and worried parents or would-be parents; with charities supporting his research, most prominently Action Research for the Crippled Child and the Scottish Spina Bifida Association; with societies and organisations, including the Clinical Genetics Society, the Royal College of Pathologists and a number of local groups to whom Ferguson-Smith gave talks on medical genetics and genetic counselling (and who would often raise money to support the service); Glasgow Health Board on topics ranging from future planning to maintenance of office equipment. various marsupials. advances in medical genetics, in attitudes to genetic counselling and how the regulatory climate and staffing crises and ethical considerations affected the service offered. There are also a little correspondence with V.A. McKusick found separately and a sequence of correspondence with J.M. Graves and colleagues on collaborative projects on comparative genomics of platypus, echidna and Section D, Publications, includes material relating to Ferguson-Smith’s publications and intended publications. Drafts include documentation of some of his most notable works, including his first Through this correspondence one can see changes in diagnostic techniques and technological Glasgow, and later the University of Cambridge, the Royal Hospital for Sick Children and Greater with publishing houses; and so on. There is also administrative correspondence with the University of by M. Harries et a/ and drafts of a number of his 1990s publications on reciprocal chromosome documentation relating to various editions of the textbook Essential Medical Genetics, Ferguson- with B. Lennox et al. Lancet (1957) and ‘Karyotype-phenotype correlations in gonadal dysgenesis and accepted by the Journal of Medical Genetics which became a Citation Classic in 1991. There is also Smith’s chapter on ‘Gender verification’ in editions of the Oxford Textbook of Sports Medicine, edited publication, ‘Klinefelter’s syndrome: frequency and testicular morphology in relation to nuclear sex’, their bearing on the pathogenesis of malformations’ (1965), a paper rejected by Cytogenetics but M.A. Ferguson-Smith NCUACS 161/4/08 painting between species of animal. There is a very nearly complete set of offprints of Ferguson- Smith’s publications. The section also presents editorial material, chiefly relating to the journal Prenatal Diagnosis, of which Ferguson-Smith was founder and Editor in Chief for 26 years to his retirement at the end of 2006. Section E, Lectures and meetings, includes documentation of some early lectures from Ferguson- Smith’s period in the USA, 1959-1961, and a few of his many talks to local societies in the west of Scotland in which he spoke about genetics in general and the work of the West of Scotland genetics service in particular (this is also documented in section C, Correspondence). There is also a little material relating to university teaching responsibilities, and documentation of a few meetings attended by him. Section F, Societies and organisations, includes material from six organisations. The bulk relates to the Human Genome Organisation, HUGO, of which Ferguson-Smith was a founding and Executive Council member. Most of the material relates to the European Commission (EC) support for Single Chromosome Workshops (SCWs), including the 1991 Working Party (which included Ferguson- Smith) of the Advisory Committee for the Human Genome Analysis programme that recommended the EC should fund SCWs under HUGO guidelines, and subsequent EC contracts to fund SCWs, March 1992-October 1999. There is also significant material relating to the foundation of the International Society for Prenatal Diagnosis in 1996. Ferguson-Smith was a founder member, serving Section G, Consultancies and collaborations, dates from after Ferguson-Smith’s move to Cambridge. It is not extensive and documents Ferguson-Smith’s association with six commercial companies, chiefly in relation to work on chromosome paints. on the Board, and as President 1998-2002. Gender Verification, 1991-1999. The material includes correspondence (including many faxes) with Section H, Gender verification in sport, relates to Ferguson-Smith’s involvement from 1969 in the debate about methods of testing athletes’ sex. It includes correspondence with the British Olympic bulk relates to his service on the International Amateur Athletic Federation’s Working Group on Committee about the tests for competitors for the 1970 Edinburgh Commonwealth Games, but the its relation to vCJD, and his theory about its possible origin from a bovine prion gene mutation. members of the Working Group and others, briefing documents, drafts of articles for publication and documenting his continuing interest in transmissible spongiform encephalopathies including BSE and Section J, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, is principally material relating to the BSE Inquiry on which Ferguson-Smith served, and includes responses to the Inquiry’s report. There is also material background information. M.A. Ferguson-Smith NCUACS 161/4/08 Section K, Non-textual material, is slight. However, it includes historical 16mm colour educational films on genetics made in the USA and sent to Ferguson-Smith in Glasgow. Those at K.1-K.3, a series of three on medical genetics, were made at the Division of Medical Genetics at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 1960 and Ferguson-Smith participated in their creation.
