Abstract
The authors present a personal interpretation of the pathogeny of prionic processes, showing the role played by heredity. They also present the very surprising fact that a protein codified by a mutant gene can act as transmissible agent in a serious illness opening new chapters to the pathology of a series of important diseases. This is a completely new perspective in the biology.
