Rare Disease Scraper (NCBI MedGen)

Search rare and genetic diseases via NCBI MedGen — the NCBI resource for medical genetics concepts. Returns disease name, definition, semantic type, synonyms and cross-references to OMIM, Orphanet and SNOMED CT. No API key required.

Features

Searches NCBI MedGen (covers 400,000+ medical genetics concepts)
Returns OMIM, Orphanet and SNOMED CT identifiers for cross-referencing
Extracts all known synonyms from the concept metadata
Covers rare diseases, syndromes, and genetic conditions
No registration or API key needed

Input

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
`searchTerm`	string	✅	—	Disease name, e.g. `marfan syndrome` or `cystic fibrosis`
`maxResults`	integer		50	Max records (1–5,000)

Output

{
  "uid": "1842966",
  "conceptId": "C5681015",
  "name": "Marfan and Marfan-related disorder",
  "definition": null,
  "semanticType": "Disease or Syndrome",
  "synonyms": ["Marfan syndrome and Marfan-related disorders", "MFS", "FBN1-related disorders"],
  "omimId": "154700",
  "orphanetId": "558",
  "snomedId": "19346006",
  "url": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/medgen/1842966"
}

Use Cases

1. Rare Disease Registry Enrichment

A patient advocacy organization building a rare disease registry inputs 500 disease names and retrieves OMIM, Orphanet, and SNOMED IDs for all of them — enabling interoperability with clinical databases and EHR systems.

2. Clinical Genomics Pipeline

A hospital genetics lab integrates this actor into their variant interpretation pipeline: when a new variant is identified, the associated gene's known disease concepts are retrieved from MedGen for phenotype matching.

3. Pharmaceutical Market Research

A biotech analyst queries all MedGen concepts related to lysosomal storage to compile a comprehensive list of rare diseases in the space — with OMIM cross-references linking to prevalence and inheritance data for market sizing.

Data Source

NCBI MedGen E-utilities API — NCBI/NIH, no API key required. MedGen integrates data from OMIM, Orphanet, SNOMED CT, GTR and ClinVar.

Pricing

Pay-per-result. 100 diseases ≈ $0.50–$1.00.
