Abstract The 70th anniversary of the publication of the double helix model for the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid has oppened the opportunity for reflections and to debate the specific role of each of the original protagonists. Here we review how this discovery has lead to our current medical knowledge and practice, and discuss what we think were the actual contributions of each of these scientists. Resumen El 70 aniversario de la publicación del modelo de doble hélice para la estructura del ácido desoxirribonucleico abre la oportunidad de reflexionar y debatir el papel específico de cada uno de los protagonistas originales. Aquí revisamos las consecuencias de este descubrimiento en nuestro conocimiento y práctica médica actuales, y discutimos lo que creemos que fueron las contribuciones reales de cada uno de estos científicos.
