Y1 - 2019 N1 - 10.1036/ommbid.5 T2 - The Online Metabolic and Molecular Bases of Inherited Disease AB - Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution and nothing in medicine makes sense except in the light of biology. The essay proposes that medicine is a science of the individual and when the experiences that undermine health are ameliorated, the continuing diseases in the population, in individuals, are increasingly likely to have biological explanations: some are Mendelian but most are multifactorial and complex. How we respond to this transition will influence education and practice.
