Objective:

To provide a pragmatic and reproducible framework for integrating genetic diagnostics into vascular medicine through the description of workflows and outcomes from a specialized vascular-genetics clinic.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • 97 individuals evaluated in the specialized vascular-genetics clinic.
    • Integration of genetic diagnostics into vascular medicine was systematically described.
    • Phenotypic features were classified based on referral reasons and vascular involvement.
    Interpretation:

    The study highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in managing hereditary vascular disorders to improve diagnostic yield and patient care.

    Limitations:
    • Single-center study may limit generalizability.
    • Data collection was retrospective and dependent on clinical documentation.
    Conclusion:

    The findings contribute to the discussion on implementing precision medicine in hereditary vascular disease care.
