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 renal cell carcinoma that is characterized by papillary, alveolar and nested growth patterns with clear and eosinophilic cells and that is associated with translocations/gene fusions involving members of the MiT family of transcription factors. (DO)
