Concepts and problems of medical genetics*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Summary
The concepts and problems of Medical Genetics are considered in the light of modern advances in Biochemistry, the classic aspects of the gene, cistron, muton and recon, having been completed by the concepts of Operon and chronon, with respect to the traffic of structural genes and to the temporal dimension of the hereditary unit, respectively.
The impact of these various aspects of the gene is considered with respect to ontogenetic processes, heredity of diseases and heredity of disposition to-diseases. Ageing is also considered as a disease, due to the extinction of the genes, and therefore apt to be treated with a substitutive therapy.
