Orphanet

Search Orphanet

Search Orphanet, the reference nomenclature of rare diseases (Orphadata, CC BY 4.0, refreshed by Orphanet twice a year), one record per ORPHA code: preferred name and synonyms, entity type (disease, syndrome, clinical subtype, group of disorders...), definition, ICD-10, ICD-11, OMIM and other codes, prevalence and incidence estimates (each with its area, class, validation status and literature source), and associated genes (HGNC symbol and association type). Search by disease name, synonym, gene symbol ("GLA") or code ("ORPHA:324", "E75.2"). A prevalence here is an estimate from the literature Orphanet cites, not a measured count; cite the ORPHA code and the dataset date. This is not a register of orphan designations or authorised orphan medicines. Obsolete codes are left out unless includeInactive is true; read_orphanet_disease reads any code, active or not.
