`symmap_target_diseases`

Pack: symmap · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/symmap_target_diseases for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Diseases associated with a protein target (gene) in SymMap v2 (symmap.org), with OMIM/Orphanet identifiers where the association comes from human genetics. Every edge carries evidence_tier: human_clinical for OMIM/Orphanet-backed gene–disease links, computational_prediction otherwise. A gene–disease link says NOTHING about any herb or ingredient treating the disease.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`target`	string	yes	Gene symbol (e.g. “IL6”, “A2M”) or SMTT id (SMTT00001)
`limit`	number	no	Max diseases returned, 1-200 (default 50)
