Nail Disorder, Nonsyndromic Congenital, 1; Ndnc1
Description
Many types of nonsyndromic congenital nail disorders (NDNC) have been described. Twenty-nail dystrophy (TND), also known as trachyonychia (from the Greek for 'rough nails'), is an autosomal dominant nail dystrophy characterized by excessive longitudinal striations and numerous superficial pits on the nails, which have a distinctive rough sandpaper-like appearance. Occasionally some nails are spared. The slowly progressive condition is usually apparent at birth and may be self-limiting, with spontaneous resolution in some patients (summary by Sehgal, 2007). TND is referred to here as nonsyndromic congenital nail disorder-1 (NCNC1).
