It is characterized by distinctive facial features, skeletal anomalies, neurological and developmental impairments, physiological cutaneous manifestations such as hirsutism and synophrys, and numerous other signs and symptoms. Among affected individuals, the clinical presentation of CdLS varies widely, ranging from relatively mild to severe forms. Additionally, CdLS increases the frequency of certain dermatoses, including cutaneous bacterial infections and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Six genes have been identified in association with CdLS: NIPBL (Nipped-B-like protein), RAD21 (double-strand break repair protein rad21 homolog), SMC1A and SMC3 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 1A and 3), BRD4 (bromodomain-containing protein 4), and HDAC8 (histone deacetylase 8). Cornelia de Lange syndrome is estimated to occur in 1 out of every 10,000-30,000 live births, making it a rare condition and posing diagnostic challenges due to its low incidence.

While advances in diagnostics and therapeutics have improved disease management, traditional care models often neglect the individual contexts and lived experiences of patients. Personalized medicine (PM) offers a paradigm shift from standardized treatment approaches toward patient-specific care, integrating biological, behavioral and psychosocial dimensions to optimize outcomes. This editorial synthesizes findings from the Regions4PerMed (Horizon 2020) project, encompassing focus groups, stakeholder surveys and best practice analyses across 20 European countries. Stakeholders from government, academia, patient organizations and healthcare practice, identified key barriers to PM implementation, including fragmented data systems, insufficient clinician training and limited patient engagement. Cross-border data exchange standards, integration of real-world evidence (RWE) and sustainable funding mechanisms emerged as critical enablers of progress. The transition from concept to practice requires aligning policy, technology and human factors. Personalized care extends beyond genomics and precision therapies to encompass communication, motivation and shared decision-making. Training healthcare professionals in holistic competencies, enhancing digital literacy and promoting trust in data-driven systems are essential for successful adoption. By reframing personalization as both a scientific and relational endeavor, PM can strengthen chronic disease care through more adaptive, patient-centered models. Coordinated action across policy, education and technology domains is vital to embed personalization into everyday clinical practice and ensure sustainable, equitable healthcare delivery across Europe.</p>","PeriodicalId":7306,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"11-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145501643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
