Find Diseases By Category


Diseases are grouped into categories to help you find related conditions. Many of the categories cover a specific body system. The classifications mostly come from Orphanet, a European portal for rare disease information. GARD Information Specialists also assign diseases into categories. Diseases are often included in more than one category if they affect multiple parts of the body. Not all diseases have been categorized.
