Earle Moore and others who edited the first edition (1956) of my “Heritable Disorders of Connective Tissue”21 and used the then-current edition of the AMA Manual of Style. Among other advantages, use of the nonpossessive avoids the mistake of putting an apostrophe in the wrong place, writing, for example, “Wilm’s tumor” for “Wilms tumor” and “Grave’s disease” for “Graves disease.”","tracks":[]}
