Diseases

Disease IDSourceNameDescription
613003 OMIMAttention deficit-hyperactivity disorder 7 (ADHD7)A neurobehavioral developmental disorder primarily characterized by the coexistence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each behavior occurring infrequently alone. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Naturally occurring variants of TPH2 with impaired enzyme activity could cause deficiency of serotonin production and result in an increased risk of developing behavioral disorders.
608516 OMIMMajor depressive disorder (MDD)A common psychiatric disorder. It is a complex trait characterized by one or more major depressive episodes without a history of manic, mixed, or hypomanic episodes. A major depressive episode is characterized by at least 2 weeks during which there is a new onset or clear worsening of either depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in nearly all activities. Four additional symptoms must also be present including changes in appetite, weight, sleep, and psychomotor activity; decreased energy; feelings of worthlessness or guilt; difficulty thinking, concentrating, or making decisions; or recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation, plans, or attempts. The episode must be accompanied by distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
