Any disease can be named in multiple ways. For each ORPHAcode, Orphanet provides a unique preferential label. Any other name is then called synonym.

This function returns in a data.frame the ORPHAcodes, their preferential label and synonyms if any.

Usage

load_synonyms()

Value

A 3-columns data.frame indicating for each ORPHAcode its preferential label and synonyms. NA is set if no synonyms was found.

See also

get_all_labels() to directly extract all the names associated to the given ORPHAcode.
