Mapping disease across genes

Interesting article and amazing visual that shows which human diseases share genes, and thus – regardless of wildly different symptoms – may be tied together. As the article reports, there could be implications for the grouping and splitting of diseases. Particularly interesting, given that in 1909, one cause of death was listed as “visitation by God.”
