✦ Synopsis

The following report, by Wendell W . Weber, of the University of Michigan, is being published in two parts. The second part will be published in the July issue of BioEssays.

In the Fall of 1987 a delegation of American professionals specializing in human genetics visited the People's Republic of China at the invitation of the Chinese Medical Association under the auspices of the Citizen Ambassador Program of the People to People Organization. The American team visited universities, medical colleges, institutes and research facilities in three cities to discuss topics of mutual interest with Chinese colleagues, to get to know them better, to observe their techniques and to discover similarities and differences between our approaches to human genetics problems.
