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 laryngeal disease that is characterized by inward collapse of flaccid supraglottic structures during inspiration. The most common symptom is noisy breathing (stridor) that is often worse when the infant is on his/her back or crying. (DO)
