According to the biomedical etiopathogenic process, the primary cause of diseases is the expression of genes responsible for the respective physiological disorders, considering the manifestation of disease-promoting epigenetic alterations as a fundamental cause of chronic diseases in general. The return to health status would occur through modulating these epigenetic manifestations and consequent inhibition of pathological gene expression... Due to presenting similar characteristics and properties, we have suggested in recent studies the philosophical-scientific correlations between vital force and genome (exome plus epigenome) and between chronic miasms and disease-promoting epigenetic alterations, meaning that the genome would be the biological representation of organic vital force, and disease-promoting epigenetic alterations would be the biological representation of chronic miasms... The properties and functions of the telomere-telomerase complex expand understanding of the gene..
