A range of disorders stemming from the single or repeated use of predominantly psychoactive substances, including certain medications. Initially, these substances provide pleasurable effects, encouraging further use. Over time, however, this can lead to dependence and severe mental and physical health issues. These disorders also cover harmful non-medical use of non-psychoactive substances. They result in significant impairment, exhibiting cognitive, behavioural, and physiological symptoms, and persist despite adverse consequences, underscoring their complex and damaging impact.

The lesions may be worsened by exposure to UV light and typically progress over weeks or months. The disease frequently occurs in children and young adults and is endemic to rural areas of Brazil and other countries in South America, as well as North Africa. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autoimmune connective tissue disorder characterised by abnormal hardening of the skin and sometimes other organs. It is classified into two main forms: localised scleroderma and systemic sclerosis (SSc), the latter comprising three subsets; diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc), limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) and limited SSc (lSSc). Localised scleroderma is the cutaneous form of scleroderma characterised by fibrosis of the skin causing cutaneous plaques (morphea) or strips (linear scleroderma). Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a generalised disorder characterised by fibrosis and vascular obliteration in the skin and organs, particularly, lungs, heart, and digestive tract. The exact cause of scleroderma is unknown. The disease originates from an autoimmune reaction, which leads to localised overproduction of collagen. In some cases, the condition is associated with exposure to chemicals. Other suggested causes include genetic and infectious mechanisms. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autoimmune encephalitis characterised by various phenotypes depending on the region of the brainstem that is involved; patients present with gaze palsies (in midbrain involvement), facial palsy or vertical gaze palsies (in pontine involvement), dysarthria, dysphagia or central hypoventilation (in medullary involvement). Additional clinical features may also involve pyramidal symptoms and gait impairment. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autoimmune encephalitis involving the mesial temporal lobes and clinically characterised by subacute onset (rapid progression of less than three months) of short-term memory deficits, seizures or psychiatric symptoms, such as behavioural changes, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Further diagnostic criteria are bilateral abnormalities restricted to the mesial temporal lobes in brain MRI, cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis and/or epileptic or slow-wave activity involving the temporal lobes in EEG, and reasonable exclusion of alternative causes. Paraneoplastic or non-paraneoplastic antibodies against neuronal antigens may be found in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autoinflammatory disease and form of mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), characterised by periodic attacks of fever and a systemic inflammatory reaction (cervical lymphadenopathy, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, arthralgia and skin manifestations). The disease usually begins in the first year of life and rarely after 5 years of age. HIDS is an inherited syndrome caused by mutations in the mevalonate kinase (MVK) gene (12q24). These MVK mutations lead to reduced, but not abolished enzyme activity. This in turn leads to impaired control of the production of inflammatory mediators, which in turn cause inflammatory (fever) attacks. The disease follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

This includes cartilage inflammation of the ears, nose, throat and rib cage as well as recurrent oral and genital ulcers respectively. Patients may also present ocular involvement (in particular anterior uveitis or scleritis), arthritis, fever, colitis, thrombophlebitis, and central nervous system vasculitis or in rare cases arterial aneurysms. Symptoms of polychondritis occur secondary to those of Behcet disease in the vast majority of cases. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autoinflammatory syndrome with immune deficiency characterised by recurrent infections (bacterial and viral) due to NCKAP1L mutations. Patients present with recurrent respiratory tract infections and recurrent pneumonia mostly causing bronchiectasis, bacteraemia, and meningitis. Patients also have systemic hyperinflammation which mostly presents with an atopic disease, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphoproliferation. Cytokine overproduction, antibody abnormalities, elevated IgE levels and increased B cells are observed. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal anomaly characterised by variable clinical features, including early growth retardation and short stature, microcephaly, developmental delay, some degree of intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism and cafe-au-lait spots. In some cases, congenital heart disease and endocrine abnormalities have been reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal anomaly characterised by variable clinical features, most commonly including hypotonia, neonatal feeding and respiratory difficulties, microcephaly, global developmental delay and intellectual disability, growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, hearing loss, aural atresia, dysmorphic facial features and behavioural characteristics. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal anomaly defined by the presence of three copies of chromosome 8 in some cells of the body, and clinically characterised by facial dysmorphism, typically deep palmar and plantar creases, mild intellectual deficit and joint, urinary, cardiac and skeletal anomalies. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal anomaly syndrome, with a highly variable phenotype, typically characterised by short length, joint abnormalities (e.g. dysplasia, hyperextensibility, contractures, dislocation), congenital cardiac defects, and craniofacial dysmorphism (including microcephaly, a high, prominent, narrow and/or hairy forehead, epicanthus, upward-slanting and/or small palpebral fissures, broad, high or depressed nasal bridge and malformed ears). Delayed motor development and intellectual disability is observed in patients not presenting early demise. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant association characterised clinically by juvenile cataract associated with bilateral microcornea, and renal glucosuria without other renal tubular defects. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia characterised by slowly progressive late-onset cerebellar ataxia, variably combined with sensory axonal neuropathy. Patients may present gait and limb ataxia, dysarthria, abnormal oculomotor function, and distal sensory impairment. Cerebellar atrophy is typically mild or absent. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia characterised by slowly progressive late-onset gait and limb ataxia, dysarthria, and variable nystagmus. Brain imaging reveals cerebellar atrophy. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant congenital non-dystrophic myopathy characterised by neonatal or infantile-onset hypotonia and mild to severe generalised muscle weakness. Causative gene mutation is ACTA1 (1q42.13). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant congenital non-dystrophic myopathy characterised by neonatal or infantile-onset hypotonia and mild to severe generalised muscle weakness. Causative gene mutation is TPM3 (1q21.3). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant congenital non-dystrophic myopathy characterised by neonatal or infantile-onset hypotonia and mild to severe generalised muscle weakness. Caused by SELENON (1p36.11) gene mutation. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by a generalised enlargement of the gingiva occurring at birth or during childhood that is associated with generalised hypertrichosis developing at birth, during the first years of life, or at puberty and predominantly affecting the face, upper limbs, and midback. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by aplasia, atresia or hypoplasia of the lacrimal and salivary glands leading to varying features since infancy such as recurrent eye infections, irritable eyes, epiphora, xerostomia, dental caries, dental erosion and oral inflammation. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuropathy characterised by onset of slowly progressive distal limb weakness and atrophy between the second and fifth decades of life. Sensory involvement is typically less pronounced or absent. The severity of the condition is variable, and both lower and upper extremities may be involved. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuropathy disease characterised by muscle weakness and wasting predominantly affecting the hands, in particular the thenar and first dorsal interosseous muscles, and/or marked foot deformity and gait disturbance. Sensation is normal, although reduced response to vibration has been described. The disease is slowly progressive with an age of onset within the first few decades of life.
