Abstract
The extension of biological inheritance beyond gene-centrism is at the center of many debates in evolutionary biology, but it has been relatively ignored in the field of biomedicine. The purpose of this prospective paper is to highlight the potential impact of a new vision of inheritance on medical theory, notably on the concept of hereditary disease. It is also to underline some related practical and social issues.
