Databases with Genes <-> Diseases relations

Warning Genes may be involved in diseases in various various ways which is difficult to put in databases (I know that), still for starting point:

Question What are databases (with possibly Python interfaces) which describe genes <-> diseases relations ? What are the survey papers on that topic ?

My feeling that information is somewhat scattered, hopefully I am wrong.

Some examples of scattered information:

For ALS ((Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) - see here https://alsod.ac.uk/ (some notebook describing genes interacting with them https://www.kaggle.com/code/alexandervc/genes-interacting-with-als-genes)

For e.g. Ewing Sarcoma - Ewing sarcoma "related" genes ?

And so on.

DISEASES is a web resource that integrates evidence on disease-gene associations from automatic text mining, manually curated literature, cancer mutation data, and genome-wide association studies.
