Individualised patient profile: clinical utility of Flammer syndrome phenotype and general lessons for predictive, preventive and personalised medicine

This case report introduces a female patient, who since her teenager age evidently suffers from Flammer syndrome (FS) as the clearly defined sub-optimal health condition. Further, the patient has experienced collateral pathological conditions which primarily might be linked to the family (genetic) predisposition, but the development of which could be synergistically promoted by the FS-phenotype. The facts are thoroughly analysed and consequent hypotheses are presented, which are indicative for highly desirable predictive diagnostics and targeted preventive measures to be created based on the accurate interpretation of the individualised patient profile. The authors emphasise the great clinical relevance of the FS and field-related research.
