Extractions: July 4 Mice help nail down gene for rare syndrome By J. Travis R andy L. Johnson is interested in how limbs form, so he wondered what would happen if mice lacked a gene related to one implicated in the development of chicken limbs. Much to Johnson's surprise, his studies of such mutant mice have led to the identification of the gene responsible for a rare human disorder called nail-patella syndrome (NPS). For more than a century, physicians have recognized this curious syndrome in which people have, to varying degrees, abnormal growth of fingernails, toenails, and knee caps, or patellae. At the extreme, people with NPS have no knee caps or nails whatsoever. Some 50 years ago, physicians linked kidney problems, often severe enough to require transplants, to the syndrome. Last year, investigators also noticed that people with the syndrome frequently have the eye disorder glaucoma. Scientists have been puzzled by this odd collection of symptoms and have even pondered whether more than one gene must be involved. At the Society for Developmental Biology meeting last week in Palo Alto, Calif., Johnson, who works at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, explained how the findings on his mutant mice strongly indicate that a single gene is behind NPS. Some of his team's results are also described in the May Nature Genetics To create the mutant animals, the scientists deactivated both copies of a mouse gene called Lmx1b. It encodes a transcription factor, a DNA-binding protein regulating the activity of genes. The resulting mice, which survive less than a day after birth, lack patellae and nails. Further examination revealed kidney abnormalities as well.

Extractions: Gene linked to inherited glaucoma STANFORD Scientists at Stanford University and the University of Michigan have identified a gene involved in some cases of inherited glaucoma. The same gene, called LMX1B, is responsible for a rare inherited disease called nail-patella syndrome, the researchers found. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. In the United States it affects more than 2.5 million people, half of whom do not know they have the disease. Increased pressure in the eye is thought to destroy nerve cells in the eye, leading to glaucoma's characteristic patterns of vision loss.

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.

Extractions: 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 (

Extractions: School of Medicine researchers have uncovered new information about a gene that when mutated prevents the kidneys from filtering properly. The mutation causes a rare disorder known as nail-patella syndrome, which frequently involves kidney abnormalities. "This gene, known as regulates production of other proteins that are required for normal kidney function," said Jeffrey H. Miner, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine and of cell biology and physiology and lead author of the paper. "Our findings should improve the understanding of nail-patella syndrome and of kidney function and failure." The findings appeared in the April 15 issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation Using mice, the study found that mutations in the

Nail Patella Syndrome A Thumbs Up (TM) Look At NPS My name is Carol Ferensak. (e-mail: PACALI@aol.com ) and I have a rare congenital disorder called Nail Patella Syndrome.It is very dominant in the maternal side of my family, with about 50% of us having it. I have recently located some distant relatives with NPS and by combining my genealogy with theirs, I have been able to trace the NPS in our family back as far as the 1600s! I began researching Nail Patella Syndrome in Sept '96, and in the process of searching for information I have located quite a few other people that also have it. In talking with each other we have found that although our symptoms vary tremendously, we have much in common. Before we found each other, most of us had never heard of anyone else that had it except our own families! (And some, called spontaneous mutations, don't even have other family members with it!) So, it was really exciting to find others...to share our stories, our problems, our concerns and personal
