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.
Term:
contractures, pterygia, and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome 1A
A contractures, pterygia, and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome that is characterized by contractures of proximal and distal joints, pterygia involving the neck, axillae, elbows, and/or knees, as well as variable vertebral, carpal, and tarsal fusions and short stature and that has material_basis_in heterozygous mutation in the MYH3 gene on chromosome 17p13.
