•: Disease or Syndrome

Synonym:	Anonychia with Flexural Pigmentation
Modes of inheritance:	Autosomal dominant inheritance MedGen UID: 141047 •Concept ID: C0443147 • Intellectual Product Source: Orphanet A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Autosomal dominant inheritance (Orphanet)

Definition

A rare ectodermal dysplasia syndrome characterized by anonychia congenita totalis or rudimentary nails, macular hyper- and/or hypopigmentation (particularly affecting groins, axillae and breasts), coarse scalp hair (that becomes markedly thinned in early adult life), dry palmoplantar skin with distorted epidermal ridges and sore, cracked soles, and hypohidrosis. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1975. [from ORDO]

Anonychia

MedGen UID:: 120563
•Concept ID:: C0265998
•: Congenital Abnormality

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 is a rare entity that usually follows autosomal recessive inheritance with variable expression, even within a given family. The nail phenotypes observed range from no nail field to a nail field of reduced size with an absent or rudimentary nail (summary by Bruchle et al., 2008). This form of nail disorder is referred to here as nonsyndromic congenital nail disorder-4 (NDNC4). For a list of other nonsyndromic congenital nail disorders and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity, see NDNC1 (161050).
