Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Congenital anonychia is defined as the absence of fingernails and toenails. Anonychia and its milder phenotypic variant, hyponychia, usually occur as a feature of genetic syndromes, in association with significant skeletal and limb anomalies. Isolated nonsyndromic congenital anonychia/hyponychia ...
Clinical Description OMIM Littman and Levin (1964) reported a 66-year-old woman who had congenital absence of 7 fingernails without any other anomalies. Her nails were normal in her thumbs and left fifth digit, but absent in the other fingers, which had ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Blaydon et al. (2006) identified homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the RSPO4 gene in 8 affected families. Rspo4 expression was specifically localized to developing mouse nail mesenchyme at embryonic day 15.5, suggesting a crucial role in nail ...
