Genetic outline of the hermeneutics of the diseases connection phenomenon in human

The structure of diseases in humans is heterogeneous, which is manifested by various combinations of diseases, including comorbidities associated with a common pathogenetic mechanism, as well as diseases that rarely manifest to-gether. Recently, there has been a growing interest in studying the patterns of development of not individual diseases, but entire families associated with common pathogenetic mechanisms and common genes involved in their development. Studies of this problem make it possible to isolate an essential genetic component that controls the formation of disease conglomerates in a complex way through functionally interacting modules of individual genes in gene networks. An analyti-cal review of studies on the problems of various aspects of the combination of diseases is the purpose of this study. The re-view uses the metaphor of a hermeneutic circle to understand the structure of regular relationships between diseases, and provides a conceptual framework related to the study of multiple diseases in an individual. The existing terminology is con-sidered in relation to them, including multimorbidity, polypathies, comorbidity, conglomerates, families, second diseases, syntropy and others. Here we summarize the key results that are extremely useful, primarily for describing the genetic archi-tecture of diseases of a multifactorial nature. Summaries of the research problem of the disease connection phenomenon allow us to approach the systematization and natural classification of diseases. From practical healthcare perspective, the description of the disease connection phenomenon is crucial for expanding the clinician's interpretive horizon and moving beyond narrow, disease-specific therapeutic decisions.

Automated summary

Studying the patterns of disease development and their familial relationships has gained attention. By investigating disease combinations and genetic components, essential genes controlling disease formation can be identified. Existing terminology for disease combinations includes multimorbidity, polypathies, comorbidity, and conglomerates.
