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 autosomal recessive condition characterized by onset of isolated proteinuria in the first decade of life. The proteinuria is nonprogressive; affected individuals do not develop renal disease or impaired kidney function, and they do not have additional associated abnormalities.
