Other diseases

As WANC is an ongoing project, there are many unverifiable and non-existent conditions still to be added, and indeed in many cases as yet undiscovered. In fact, after reading the list of registered diseases above you're probably thinking, "I want my own disease"! Luckily, almost anyone can now create their own disease and submit it to be added to our list.
