Summaries for Munchausen by Proxy

Disease Ontology : ¹² A factitious disorder that involves a care giver's deliberate exaggeration, fabrication, and/or induce physical, psychological, behavioral, and/or mental health problems in others.

MalaCards based summary : Munchausen by Proxy, also known as munchausen syndrome by proxy, is related to factitious disorder and maturity-onset diabetes of the young. An important gene associated with Munchausen by Proxy is APELA (Apelin Receptor Early Endogenous Ligand), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Aldosterone synthesis and secretion and Inwardly rectifying K+ channels. Affiliated tissues include testes, brain and kidney.
