This article describes a number of syndromes affecting the nail unit. When a patient presents with a complaint involving the nails, it is important to consider first the common nail disorders. However, one should evaluate the entire patient to discover associated signs or symptoms that would point toward an underlying syndrome. The dermatologist may have an opportunity to discover a syndrome that might have significant related morbidity or mortality, which may be prevented through early detection. By recognizing the presence of inherited syndromes, the dermatologist may facilitate genetic counseling. It should be noted that most of the syndromes described are of autosomal dominant inheritance, with variable expressivity, and that the individual manifestations can vary widely in severity, making recognition difficult.
本文描述了一些影响甲单位的综合征。当患者提出涉及指甲的主诉时，首先考虑常见的指甲疾病很重要。然而，医生应该对整个患者进行评估，以发现指向潜在综合征的相关体征或症状。皮肤科医生可能有机会发现一种可能具有重大相关发病率或死亡率的综合征，通过早期检测有可能预防。通过识别遗传性综合征的存在，皮肤科医生可以促进遗传咨询。应该注意的是，所描述的大多数综合征是常染色体显性遗传，具有可变的表达性，并且个体表现的严重程度差异很大，这使得识别变得困难。
