}}Nail–patella syndrome (NPS) is a genetic disorder that results in small, poorly developed nails and kneecaps, but can also affect many other areas of the body, such as the elbows, chest, and hips. The name "nail–patella" can be very misleading because the syndrome often affects many other areas of the body, including even the production of certain proteins.[1]{{rp|666}} Those affected by NPS may have one or more affected areas of the body, and its severity varies depending on the individual. It is also referred to as iliac horn syndrome, hereditary onychoosteodysplasia (HOOD syndrome), Fong disease or Turner–Kieser syndrome.[2]

Diagnosis of NPS can be made at birth, but is common for it to remain undiagnosed for several generations. While there is no cure available for NPS, treatment is available and recommended.

Symptoms

The skeletal structures of individuals who have this disorder may have pronounced deformities. As reported by several medical doctors, the following features are commonly found in people who suffer from nail–patella syndrome:[3]

Bones and joints

  • Patellar involvement is present in approximately 90% of patients; however, patellar aplasia occurs in only 20%.
  • In instances in which the patellae are smaller or luxated, the knees may be unstable.
  • The elbows may have limited motion (e.g., limited pronation, supination, extension).
  • Subluxation of the radial head may occur.
  • Arthrodysplasia of the elbows is reported in approximately 90% of patients.
  • General hyperextension of the joints can be present.
  • Exostoses arising from the posterior aspect of the iliac bones ("iliac horns") are present in as many as 80% of patients; this finding is considered pathognomonic for the syndrome.
  • Other reported bone changes include scoliosis, scapular hypoplasia, and the presence of cervical ribs.

Kidney issues may arise such as proteinuria and nephritis. Proteinuria is usually the first sign of renal involvement and either rapidly or years after suffering from asymptomatic proteinuria, renal failure occurs in around 5% of NPS patients. Hypothyroidism, irritable bowel syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and thin tooth enamel are associated with NPS, but whether these are related or simply coincidences are unclear.[4]

Genetics

The Nail–patella syndrome is inherited via autosomal dominancy linked to aberrancy on human chromosome 9's q arm (the longer arm), 9q34. This autosomal dominancy means that only a single copy, instead of both, is sufficient for the disorder to be expressed in the offspring, meaning the chance of getting the disorder from an affected heterozygous parent is 50%. The frequency of the occurrence is 1/50,000.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} The disorder is linked to the ABO blood group locus.

It is associated with random mutations in the LMX1B gene. Studies have been conducted and 83 mutations of this gene have been identified.[5][5][6]

Diagnosis

The hallmark features of this syndrome are poorly developed fingernails, toenails, and patellae (kneecaps). Sometimes, this disease causes the affected person to have either no thumbnails or a small piece of a thumbnail on the edge of the thumb. The lack of development, or complete absence of fingernails results from the loss of function mutations in the LMX1B gene. This mutation may cause a reduction in dorsalising signals, which then results in the failure to normally develop dorsal specific structures such as nails and patellae.[7] Other common abnormalities include elbow deformities, abnormally shaped pelvic (hip) bones, and kidney (renal) disease.

Treatment

Treatment for NPS varies depending on the symptoms observed.

  • Perform screening for renal disease and glaucoma, surgery, intensive physiotherapy, or genetic counseling.[8]
  • ACE inhibitors are taken to treat proteinuria and hypertension in NPS patients.
  • Dialysis and renal transplant.
  • Physical therapy, bracing and analgesics for joint pain.
  • Other surgery treatments such as patella realignment, joint replacement, and the cutting away of the head of radius.
