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 skin disease that is characterized by chronic skin inflammation, trichorrhexis invaginata, atopic dermatitis and has_material_basis_in mutations in the SPINK5 gene resulting in reduced capacity to inhibit serine proteases expressed in the skin. (DO)
