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.
An epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica that is characterized by recurrent blistering and scarring, mainly in the pretibial area and that has_material_basis_in heterozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the type VII collagen gene (COL7A1) on chromosome 3p21. The lesions often show lichenoid features. Pretibial epidermolysis bullosa is allelic to autosomal dominant and recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. (DO)
