11, 427 Alleles
26,409 Models
9 Species

The list of diseases in the Disease Portal. Newly added diseases are indicated with a purple arrow. Text reads:

Disease Portals

Cancer

colorectal cancer 4,167 genes 34 alleles 86 models

Cardiovascular system disease

long QT syndrome 188 genes 17 alleles 19 models

Central nervous system disease

Alzheimer's disease 3,753 genes 304 alleles 1,181 models
epilepsy 5,390 genes 296 alleles 560 models
