RGD uses the Human Disease Ontology (DO, https://disease-ontology.org/) for disease curation across species. RGD automatically downloads each new release of the ontology on a monthly basis. Some additional terms which are required for RGD's curation purposes but are not currently covered in the official version of DO have been added. As corresponding terms are added to DO, these custom terms are retired and the DO terms substituted in existing annotations and subsequently used for curation.
A congenital myopathy that is characterized by hypotonia and delayed motor development apparent from infancy or childhood, resulting in difficulties walking or loss of ambulation within the first few decades and that has_material_basis_in heterozygous mutation in the ACTN2 gene on chromosome 1q43. Heterozygous mutation in the ACTN2 gene can also cause distal myopathy-6 (MPD6), which shows later onset and is less severe. (DO)
