Abstract

Factors related to patient diversity may play a major role in the pathogenesis and clinical manifestation of intestinal and liver diseases and should be considered during diagnostic workup and therapeutic decisions.

Consideration of such factors may help to pave the path towards personalized medicine approaches in clinical practice.
