RGD DISEASE ONTOLOGY - ANNOTATIONS

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.

Definition:Erythropoietic protoporphyria-1 (EPP1) is an inborn error of porphyrin metabolism caused by decreased activity of the enzyme ferrochelatase (FECH), the terminal enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway, which catalyzes the insertion of iron into protoporphyrin to form heme. EPP is characterized clinically by photosensitivity to visible light commencing in childhood, and biochemically by elevated red cell protoporphyrin levels. EPP1 is caused by compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation in FECH on chromosome 18q21. The disorder most often results from inheritance of a null FECH allele in trans with a low-expression FECH mutation prevalent in some populations, resembling autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance.
