Some Diseases are known to be related
ENPP1 HFCS SLS Ectonuclide Pyrophosphate Phosphodiesterase 1 High Fructose Corn Syrup Sedentary Life Style There are no single causes for each disease DiabetesObesity
Determining causes is labor and capital intensive

Disease 2 Affect Same Individuals Significantly more than Random

CONCLUSIONS We introduced the concept of a phenotypic disease network. This network can be used to help explore life cycle strategies for drug companies and hospital design. This network can be used to perform comparative studies. Ultimately, the goal is to help determine disease ontology based on their comorbidity patterns
