Frequently Asked Questions Nail-Patella Syndrome Definition Symptoms Treatment Clinic Information Definition Nail-Patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormalities of bone, joints, fingernails and kidneys. NPS is commonly characterized by absent or under-developed kneecaps and thumbnails. It is estimated to occur in one in 50,000 newborns. Researchers at the U-M Kellogg Eye Center have found strong evidence of a link between glaucoma and NPS. A research study was initiated after Paul Lichter, M.D. , noticed a glaucoma patient had no thumbnails and recalled the patient's mother, whom he had treated years earlier, also lacked thumbnails. Both patients had NPS in addition to glaucoma. Other family members were subsequently examined, and some who previously were unaware of NPS were diagnosed with the disorder. Lichter's research team examined 24 people with Nail-Patella syndrome in two families and found that more than half of them suffered from glaucoma. "As a result of these findings, we recommend people with Nail-Patella syndrome have regular ophthalmologic exams so glaucoma can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible," said Lichter, who is chairman of the University of Michigan Health System's Department of Ophthamology and director of the W.K. Kellogg Eye Center.

Resources Nail-patella syndrome Definition Nail-patella syndrome, also known as onychoosteodysplasia, is a disease of the connective tissue that produces defects in the fingernails, bone joints, and kidneys. Description Patients who have nail-patella syndrome show a variety of physical defects. Among these are missing or poorly developed fingernails and patellae (kneecaps), a dislocated radius (one of the forearm bones) at the elbow, or an abnormally shaped pelvis bone (hip bone). Kidney (renal) disease is also seen. There are also other effects, such as thickening of the basement membrane in the skin and of the tiny clusters of capillaries (glomeruli) in the kidney. The irises of the eye may have more than one color present. The eyes may also have cataracts and astigmatism Nail-patella syndrome is a rare genetic disease. The genetic mutation is an autosomal dominant mutation. This means that possession of only one copy of the defective gene is enough to cause disease. The defect has been mapped to chromosome 9 and may be related to the gene that codes for type 5 collagen. Some patients with this disease show no symptoms and are discovered to have the disease only when genetic studies trace family histories. The fingernails of these patients are usually poorly developed or missing. The index fingers and thumb are most commonly affected by this disease. Fingernails that are present may be small and concave and have pitting, ridges, splits, and discoloration. Effects are rarely seen on the toes. Either or both kneecaps may be missing. Abnormally formed kneecaps can take a variety of shapes. Since the kneecap stabilizes the knee, patients may have difficulty walking. The iliac crest of the hip bone usually has a pronounced flaring called iliac horns. Kidney disease may be present. Biopsy shows lesions that resemble those of inflammation of the clusters of capillaries in the kidneys (

In this disorder patients have dysplastic fingernails, hypoplastic or absent patellae, other bone deformities, iliac horns ( Fig.1 ), widespread soft tissue changes and renal dysplasia, sometimes leading to renal osteodystrophy and death. In the knee, asymmetric development of the femoral condyles and a sloping tibial plateau can be observed. The elbow may also reveal asymmetric development of the humeral condyles, hypoplasia of the capitulum, and subluxation or dislocation of the radial head ( Fig.2 ). The bilateral outgrowths from the posterior ilium ( iliac horns ) are virtually pathognomonic of nail-patella syndrome. Other bone changes can be evident in the shoulder, wrist, ankle and subtalar joints. DR/RB The Encyclopaedia of Medical Imaging Volume III:1 Nail – patella syndrome, Fig. 1

NPS is commonly characterized by absent or under-developed kneecaps and thumbnails. It is estimated to occur in one in 50,000 newborns. Information about Nail-Patella Syndrome Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare genetic disorder that is usually apparent at birth or during early childhood. Although the symptoms and physical characteristics associated with NPS may vary, characteristic abnormalities tend to include improper development (dysplasia) of the fingernails and toenails; absence (aplasia) and/or underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the knee caps (patellae); underdevelopment of certain bones and/or webbing of skin at the bend of the elbow(s); and/or abnormal projections of bone from the upper (superior) portion of both sides of the hipbone (bilateral iliac horns). In addition, some individuals within certain families (kindreds) may have abnormally increased fluid pressure of the eyes (glaucoma). The condition results due to progressive blockage of the outflow of fluid (aqueous humor) from the front chamber of the eyes (open-angle glaucoma). Without appropriate treatment, the gradual increase in fluid pressure may cause increased narrowing of visual fields and eventual blindness. Other eye (ocular) abnormalities may also be associated with NPS. For example, in some affected individuals, the inner margin (pupillary margin) of the colored portion of the eyes (irides) may appear abnormally dark (hyperpigmentation) and "cloverleaf shaped" (Lester iris).

pa@bcm.tmc.edu Nail-Patella Syndrome Gene Discovered HOUSTON(April 27, 1998)The gene responsible for a rare condition that causes abnormal fingernails and prevents the development of kneecaps has been identified. It is the first gene of its type to be linked to an abnormal genetic condition. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston report these discoveries in two articles in the May issue of the scientific journal Nature Genetics. One article describes the genetic defect in humans, and the other describes the same defect in a mouse model. Mutations in a gene called LMX1B can cause nail-patella syndrome. People with this rare condition develop abnormal fingernails and toenails. They also have joint and bone abnormalities, including an absence of patellae or kneecaps, and might also develop glaucoma and kidney failure. "Now that we have found a gene that affects the development of nail, skeletal, kidney and eye tissue, researchers might look for similar genes that control development of these types of tissue," said principal investigator Dr. Brendan Lee, Baylor assistant professor of molecular and human genetics.

Although it set up fine, it slowed the computer down once installed and killed email and browsers. I could still ping servers on the net, but couldn't make any other type of connection. This was despite fiddling with the firewall rules for hours and looking for clashing drivers. It also dumped my ActiveSync partnership between the pc and my ipaq, so I had to redo those settings. After uninstalling the first time I had to add a network connection to get on the net. After uninstalling the second time no added network connections work, I'm still not on the net a week later.
