Additional features may include mild subungual hyperkeratosis and distal onycholysis of the nail plates of the great toes. It is not associated with neurological and ophthalmological changes or with secondary causes. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare progressive muscular dystrophy characterised by an adult-onset scapulo-axio-peroneal myopathy. Clinical presentation includes shoulder girdle atrophy, scapular winging, axial muscular atrophy of postural muscles combined with a generalised hypertrophy. Typically neck rigidity, rigid spine, Achilles tendon shortening and respiratory insufficiency later in disease course are present. The phenotype is caused by mutation in the FHL1 gene.

A rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder with typical onset between 50 and 65 years of age. Manifestation is of progressive impairment of higher visual processing skills and other posterior cortical functions without any evidence of ocular abnormalities. Prevalence is unknown, largely due to the lack of awareness of the syndrome and the inaccurate terminology referring to it. Alzheimer's disease is the most common underlying pathology, but cases attributable to Dementia with Lewy Bodies, corticobasal degeneration or prion disease have also been reported.

Typical characteristics include childhood-onset of minimally progressive bilateral mainly symmetric lower limb spasticity and weakness, associated with pes cavus, diminished vibration sense, sphincter disturbances and/or urinary bladder hyperactivity. Additional associated manifestations may include scoliosis, mild intellectual disability, optic atrophy, axonal motor neuropathy and/or distal amyotrophy. Caused by heterozygous mutation in the ATL1 gene on chromosome 14q22. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare pyruvate metabolism disorder with characteristics of neonatal onset of a mitochondrial encephalopathy with global developmental delay and the biochemical characteristics of lactic acidosis and increased serum pyruvate with normal lactate/pyruvate ratio. Additional reported manifestations include epilepsy, peripheral neuropathy, hypotonia, nystagmus, extensor plantar responses, hepatomegaly and craniofacial dysmorphism (such as progressive microcephaly, epicanthus, long philtrum, and thin upper lip). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare radiation-induced disorder resulting from whole body exposure to large doses of penetrating radiation (>0.7 Gray) within a very short period of time, usually minutes. The disorder is characterised by bone marrow syndrome with pancytopenia (mild symptoms of which may occur at 0.3 Gray), gastrointestinal syndrome resulting in mostly fatal infection, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance (occurring at doses >10 Gray), and cardiovascular/central nervous system syndrome with watery diarrhoea, convulsions, coma and death within three days of exposure (occurring at doses >50 Gray). The syndrome develops in four clinical stages (prodromal/latent/manifest illness/recovery or death) of variable duration. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare radiation-induced disorder with characteristics of impairment of the peripheral nervous system at the level of the brachial or lumbosacral plexus following radiation therapy. Onset of symptoms can occur between several months up to decades after the last dose of radiation. Patients with radiation-induced brachial plexopathy typically present with mostly unilateral progressive paraesthesia, followed by weakness, atrophy and pain. Symptoms in radiation-induced lumbosacral plexopathy include more variable combinations of numbness, paraesthesia, pain and weakness and are more often bilateral. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare rectal disease characterised by rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, passage of mucous, sensation of incomplete evacuation, straining at defaecation and rectal prolapse, secondary to ischaemic changes in the rectum. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare red cell disorder classified principally into two clinical phenotypes: autosomal recessive congenital (or hereditary) types I and II (RCM/RHM type 1; RCM/RHM type 2). In RCM type 1, cyanosis from birth is the only symptom. RCM type 2 is much more severe; the cyanosis is accompanied by neurological dysfunction (with intellectual deficit, microcephaly, growth retardation, opisthotonus, strabismus and hypertonia), which usually becomes evident during the first four months of life. RCM type 1 is caused by mutations of the CYB5R3 gene (22q13.31-qter) encoding the NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (Cb5R) and Cb5R deficiency is limited to the erythrocytes. RCM type 2 is caused by global loss of Cb5R function. RCM type 1 is generally associated with missense mutations, whereas RCM type 2 is more commonly associated with truncating mutations, splicing errors or mutations that lead to disruption of the active site.

A rare renal disease characterised by thrombotic microangiopathy developing de novo in kidney transplant recipients with no evidence of occurrence of the disease prior to transplantation. Precipitating factors include antibody-mediated rejection, immunosuppressive medication, viral infections and genetic abnormalities in the complement cascade, among others. The condition most commonly occurs within the first 3-6 months post-transplantation. Clinical presentation is highly variable and ranges from a limited form confined to the kidney with relatively good prognosis to a systemic variant consisting of the classic triad of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and acute kidney injury. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare renal disease occurring in the setting of a systemic IgG4 (immunoglobulin G4) related disease. The disorder has characteristics of fibrosing tubulointerstitial nephritis consisting of predominantly IgG4 positive plasma cells with/without glomerulonephritis, mass lesions, enlarged kidneys and hydronephrosis. Other extra renal manifestations of IgG4 related disease may also be present (e.g. salivary glands, hepatobiliary system, lungs). Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare renal tumour characterised by a benign epithelial (metanephric adenoma), biphasic (metanephric adenofibroma) or renal stromal (metanephric stromal tumour) neoplasm. Metanephric adenoma mostly occurs in the fifth to sixth decade of life with distinct female predominance. It may be asymptomatic or present with abdominal pain, haematuria, and/or polycythaemia. Metanephric adenofibroma has been described from infancy to young adulthood, potentially causing polycythaemia or haematuria. Metanephric stromal tumour typically presents in infancy or childhood as an abdominal mass, sometimes manifestations of extrarenal vasculopathy such as hypertension or haemorrhage. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare respiratory disorder characterised by major reduction of diaphragmatic contractile force together with fibre atrophy in the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles as a consequence of invasive mechanical ventilation. Reduction of diaphragmatic contractile force may be observed even within hours after intubation. The condition can increase weaning time and affects weaning outcome, mortality and long-term clinical outcomes. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
