DisGeNET Search Gene

Search DisGeNET for diseases associated with a gene. DisGeNET is the largest public database of gene-disease associations. Returns diseases, association scores, and evidence counts. Use the 'gene' parameter (e.g., 'BRCA1', 'TP53') — note: parameter name is 'gene', not 'gene_symbol'. Requires DISGENET_API_KEY env var (register free at disgenet.org).
