I don't know of any specific diseases that effetc astronauts. However, something astronauts do suffer from is extreme muscle atrophy. That is, the loss or shrinking of skeletal muscle. This is due to the amount of time spent in a zero-gravity environment. This is also why you do not see pictures or videos (or press conferences) of astronauts after they returned to earth.
