Показано, что среди более 30 тыс. единиц каталога 347 названий (1,7%) представлены эпонимами, рекомендованными в качестве основного наименования. Выделены и охарактеризованы четыре категории эпонимов: антропонимы (82,4%), акронимы (14,7%), топонимы (2,3%) и этнонимы (0,6%). Приведены примеры каждой категории. Отдельно рассмотрена проблема уничижительных (pejorative) названий наследственных синдромов, этические аспекты их употребления при общении с пациентами и дидактическая ценность образных названий в преподавании клинической генетики. Обсуждён культурно-исторический смысл эпонимической терминологии как хранителя памяти о выдающихся исследователях и событиях.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines the structure of eponymous names of hereditary diseases, syndromes, and traits catalogued in the OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) database, created by Victor McKusick. It is shown that among more than 30,000 entries in the catalogue, 347 names (1.7%) are eponyms recommended as the primary designation. Four categories of eponyms have been identified and characterised: anthroponyms (82.4%), acronyms (14.7%), toponyms (2.3%), and ethnonyms (0.6%). Examples of each category are provided. The problem of pejorative names for hereditary syndromes is considered separately, along with the ethical aspects of using such terms when communicating with patients and the didactic value of figurative names in teaching clinical genetics. The cultural and historical significance of eponymic terminology is discussed as a means of preserving the memory of outstanding researchers and events.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Виктор Маккьюсик</kwd><kwd>OMIM</kwd><kwd>эпонимы</kwd><kwd>антропонимы</kwd><kwd>топонимы</kwd><kwd>акронимы</kwd><kwd>этнонимы</kwd><kwd>наследственные болезни</kwd><kwd>клиническая генетика</kwd><kwd>номенклатура</kwd><kwd>уничижительные названия</kwd><kwd>этика в медицине</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Victor McKusick</kwd><kwd>OMIM</kwd><kwd>eponyms</kwd><kwd>anthroponyms</kwd><kwd>toponyms</kwd><kwd>acronyms</kwd><kwd>ethnonyms</kwd><kwd>hereditary diseases</kwd><kwd>clinical genetics</kwd><kwd>nomenclature</kwd><kwd>pejorative names</kwd><kwd>medical ethics</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Джонс К.
