MyDisease Search Diseases

Search for diseases by keyword in MyDisease.info, a BioThings aggregator combining data from MONDO, Disease Ontology, CTD, HPO, and DisGeNET. Returns matching disease identifiers with names and basic annotations. Useful for finding disease IDs from free-text names. Example: searching 'breast cancer' returns 45 hits including MONDO:0004438 (sporadic breast cancer), MONDO:0006512 (ER+ breast cancer), MONDO:0006513 (ER- breast cancer). Searching 'melanoma' returns 104 hits.
