Extractions: Suggestions regarding musculoskeletal and biomechanical issues for the Nail-Patella Syndrome individual (Revised July 2002) I. Introduction A. Each participant must first seek the advice of their physician before starting any kind of exercise regime where a thorough evaluation can be performed to determine what is appropriate for them. Attendance of the presentation does not qualify the participant in any way to perform any of the suggested information without physician approval and proper supervision. B. Purpose-To provide individuals with a comprehensive fitness program. The individual, along with supervision of their health care provider, can select what is most appropriate for them. Some activities may not appropriate and therefore should not be done. C. Intent-To provide the individual with the basic knowledge and components that make up a fitness program. D. Recommendation-Due to the extreme variability in NPS characteristics, it is highly recommended that individuals have a MRI or scan done to determine the configuration of their joints before engaging in any exercise program. It has been found that muscles/tendons, ligaments and even bony parts are often missing or misplaced.

Extractions: Nail-patella syndrome is also known as Fong Disease, Hereditary Onycho-Osteodysplasia (H.O.O.D.), Iliac Horn Disease, and Turner-Kieser syndrome. Patients who have nail-patella syndrome may show a variety of physical defects. The hallmark features of this syndrome are poorly developed fingernails, toenails, and patellae (kneecaps). Other common abnormalities include elbow deformities, abnormally shaped pelvis bone (hip bone), and kidney (renal) disease. Less common medical findings include defects of the upper lip, the roof of the mouth, and unusual skeletal abnormalities. Skeletal abnormalities may include poorly developed scapulae (shoulder blades), sideways bent fingers (clinodactyly), clubfoot, scoliosis, and unusual neck bones. 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. Scientists have recognized an association between nail-patella syndrome and colon cancer. Nail-patella syndrome is associated with open-angle glaucoma, which, if untreated, may lead to blindness. Patients may also have cataracts, drooping eyelids (ptosis), or corneal problems such as glaucoma.

http://public.bcm.tmc.edu/pa/nail-patella.htm

Extractions: 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.

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

http://www.umich.edu/news/Releases/1998/Jan98/r012798b.html

Extractions: January 27, 1998 (23) A link between glaucoma and nail-patella syndrome found ANN ARBOR-Researchers at the University of Michigan Health System have found strong evidence of a link between glaucoma and a rare genetic disorder that causes abnormalities of bone, joints, fingernails and kidneys. The disorder, called nail-patella syndrome or NPS, is commonly characterized by absent or under-developed kneecaps and thumbnails. It is estimated to occur in one in 50,000 newborns. The U-M 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 Health System's Department of Ophthalmology and director of the W.K. Kellogg Eye Center
