Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
614278 | OMIM | Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase deficiency (PAFAD) | An enzymatic deficiency that results in exacerbated bodily response to inflammatory agents. It can be associated with several disease states including inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders, asthma and atopy. Asthmatic individuals with PAFAD may manifest aggravated respiratory symptoms. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
600807 | OMIM | Asthma (ASTHMA) | The most common chronic disease affecting children and young adults. It is a complex genetic disorder with a heterogeneous phenotype, largely attributed to the interactions among many genes and between these genes and the environment. It is characterized by recurrent attacks of paroxysmal dyspnea, with wheezing due to spasmodic contraction of the bronchi. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
147050 | OMIM | Atopic hypersensitivity (ATOPY) | A condition characterized by predisposition to develop hypersensitivity reactions. Atopic individuals can develop eczema, allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
