Nail patella syndrome
View through CrossRef
Nail patella syndrome can be recognized by its characteristic nail dystrophy and symmetrical skeletal abnormalities. Proteinuric renal disease is a variable part of the syndrome, usually mild but causing end-stage renal failure in up to 10%. An association with glaucoma has been recognized and this should be screened for. Underlying gene mutations are in a LIM homeodomain-containing transcription factor LMX1B, which seems to influence production of basement membrane proteins and other podocyte gene products.
