About NANDO
In Japan, rare diseases are addressed through two specific healthcare schemes: the "Designated Intractable Diseases" system and the "Specified Chronic Diseases of Children" system. As of July 2021, these systems cover 333 and 762 diseases, respectively. The Nanbyo Disease Ontology (NANDO) is the first ontology that systematizes the disease concepts and relationships among the diseases targeted by Japan's rare disease policies. NanbyoData utilizes NANDO to gather and provide data on rare diseases both domestically and internationally. The vocabulary list and hierarchical structure of NANDO can be accessed as the follow: - Vocabulary list
