| Entry | The KEGG DISEASE database is a collection of human diseases for the purpose of computational processing. It includes single-gene diseases and multifactorial diseases with known genetic factors and infectious diseases with pathogen genomes. Each entry is identified by the unique identifier called the H number ('H' followed by five-digit number) and consists of a gene/molecule list including known disease genes, environmental factors, diagnostic markers, and therapeutic drugs. |
|---|---|
|
Name Subgroup Supergrp |
Disease names including alternative names. Finely defined disease names as a subgroup. Broadly defined disease name as a supergroup. |
| Description | A brief summary of the disease. |
| Category | Category of the disease. |
| Brite | This field contains disease classifications in the BRITE database. The "BRITE hierarchy" buttom may also be used to display these classifications. |
|
Disease pathway | Corresonding KEGG disease pathway map. |
| Pathway | Regular KEGG pathway maps with disease genes marked in red and network elements highlited. |
| Network | Network variation maps in which the disease is associated. Automatically generated from the KEGG NETWORK database. |
| Gene | Known disease genes with links to the KEGG GENES and KO databases. |
| Pathogen | Known pathogens of infectious diseases with links to the KEGG GENOME database |
| Drug | Therapeutic drugs automatically generated from the Disease field of the KEGG DRUG database (English version) based on the indications in FDA drug labels. |
| Comment | Free text comment. |
| Other DBs | Links to outside databases. |
| Reference | Reference information. |
| LinkDB | 'All DBs' button in this field retrieves all available links to related database entries in the LinkDB system. At GenomeNet this field does not appear; instead a list of actual links is displayed on the right. |
