Clinical Nail-Patella-Syndrome
|
|
|
Synonym
|
Hereditary osteo onychodysplasia
|
|
Inheritance
Prenatal |
Autosomal dominant; LMX1B gene on 9q34
DNA analysis Ultrasound |
|
Incidence
|
1:50,000; M=F
|
|
Age at Presentation
|
Birth (nail defects); often in childhood
|
|
Pathogenesis
|
Mutation in LMX1B gene, encoding for a LIM homeodomain protein involved in dorsal/ventral limb patterning, contributes to phenotype; LMXIB's proximity to COL5A1 (type V collagen is a major component of glomerular basement membrane zones) on 9q34 may help describe how renal and musculoskeletal defects converge in this syndrome
|

Clinical
|
Nails
Triangular lunulae, micronychia with hernionychia, anonychia, longitudinal fissures (thumb > index finger > other fingers; rare on toes) Skin Palmoplantar hyperhidrosis Musculoskeletal Absent or hypoplastic patella with secondary pain, gait bnormalities, osteoarthritis, posterior iliac horns, radial head subluxation, thickened scapulae, scoliosis Kidney Glomerulonephritis, renal dysplasia, renal failure Eye Lester iris hyperpigmentation of pupillary margin of iris, cataracts, heterochromia irides, glaucoma |
|
D/Dx

|
Lab
|

Urinalysis |
|
Management
|
Referral to orthopedist management of knee, elbows; adjust physical activity
Referral to nephrologist manage kidney failure, renal transplant Referral to dermatologist nail evaluation Referral to ophthalmologist regular eye examinations |
|
Prognosis
