The N=1 Case Repository
173+ clinical cases documenting what mainstream medicine missed about South Asian biology. Individually, each is an anecdote. Together, they're a dataset.
The 10mg Catastrophe
PATIENT 17M, Indian, Nephrotic Syndrome
DOMAIN Statins/Pharma
"Standard CK monitoring at 6-12 weeks would have failed. Renal failure before first follow-up."
Type 5 Diabetes — The WHO/IDF Consensus
PATIENT Population study, BMI <18.5, age <30
DOMAIN Lean Diabetes
"The Fragile Engine now has a name."
The Jaipur Adipose Biopsy
PATIENT 322 South Asians, 3 fat depots biopsied
DOMAIN Inflammation-Immune
"It's not how much fat you have — it's how sick each fat cell is."
SA Endothelial Dysfunction — Worst of 3 Ethnic Groups
PATIENT 128 heart failure patients, 50 SA
DOMAIN Inflammation-Immune
"The Missing Mechanics with published proof."
Preserved Cerebrovascular Function at Age 20
PATIENT Young healthy SA men, age ~20
DOMAIN Cardiovascular
"The window of prevention is open. The damage is acquired, not born."
NAFLD at BMI 23 — The TOFI Liver
PATIENT 34F, Bangladeshi-American, BMI 23
DOMAIN NAFLD
"The liver is the canary. By the time ALT moves, the metabolic fire has been burning for years."
Lp(a) 198 nmol/L in a Vegetarian 28-Year-Old
PATIENT 28M, Indian, vegetarian, marathon runner
DOMAIN Lp(a)
"Lifestyle did everything right. Genetics did everything wrong. Lp(a) is a name we never said out loud."
Four Brothers, Four MIs Before 50
PATIENT Family of 4 SA brothers, MI ages 38, 41, 44, 47
DOMAIN Family Risk
"Premature MI in a first-degree relative is a vital sign. Four of them is a clinical emergency for the next generation."
Lean PCOS at BMI 21
PATIENT 26F, Pakistani, BMI 21, irregular cycles
DOMAIN PCOS
"PCOS is an insulin-resistance disease wearing a reproductive disguise. In SA women, the disguise is even better."
Chest Pain, Clean Arteries — INOCA in SA Women
PATIENT Cohort: 240 SA women with chest pain, normal angiography
DOMAIN Microvascular
"A 'clean' angiogram doesn't mean a healthy heart. The damage is upstream of the dye."
B12 of 142 — The Vegetarian Confound
PATIENT 44F, Indian vegetarian, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy
DOMAIN Vegetarian-Metabolic
"B12 deficiency mimics, masks, and worsens metabolic disease. Veganism without supplementation is iatrogenic neuropathy."
Warfarin 7mg, INR 9.2 — The CYP2C9/VKORC1 Trap
PATIENT 62F, Sri Lankan, AF, post-valve replacement
DOMAIN Pharmacogenomics
"Warfarin dosing algorithms built on European cohorts overshoot in 30% of South Asians."
Vitamin D 12 ng/mL — The Hidden Insulin Story
PATIENT Cohort: 1,200 SA adults in northern UK
DOMAIN Insulin Resistance
"South Asian skin in northern latitudes plus indoor work plus modest clothing equals near-universal vitamin D deficiency."
GDM at Fasting Glucose 88 — The Threshold Problem
PATIENT Cohort: 4,200 SA pregnancies, multi-center
DOMAIN Reproductive-Metabolic
"Standard GDM thresholds, set on European cohorts, miss thousands of SA pregnancies that need intervention."
Semaglutide Non-Response — The GLP-1R Variant
PATIENT 38M, Indian, T2D, semaglutide non-response
DOMAIN GLP-1
"SA-prevalent GLP-1R variants reduce response to GLP-1 agonists by ~30%. We're under-dosing the wrong patients."
Sarcopenic Obesity at BMI 24
PATIENT 68F, Indian, BMI 24, recurrent falls
DOMAIN Sarcopenia
"BMI 24 with grip strength of a 90-year-old. Muscle, not fat, is the metabolic organ that protects you in old age."
TSH 5.8, LDL 142 — The Thyroid-Cholesterol Loop
PATIENT 42F, Indian-American, fatigue, dyslipidemia
DOMAIN Thyroid-Metabolic
"Subclinical hypothyroidism is endemic in SA women. It elevates LDL through receptor downregulation — and standard lipid management ignores it."
Bleeding Gums, Sick Arteries — The Periodontal-Vascular Axis
PATIENT RCT: 240 SA adults with periodontitis + CVD risk
DOMAIN Periodontal-Vascular
"The mouth is part of the cardiovascular system. Treating periodontitis lowers IL-6 and improves endothelial function."
HRV of 18ms in a 31-Year-Old — The Autonomic Crash
PATIENT 31M, Indian software engineer, palpitations and fatigue
DOMAIN Autonomic
"Sympathetic dominance from chronic stress accelerates the metabolic and vascular cascade. SA tech workers are a high-risk subpopulation."
