Preferred Label : Nail disorder, nonsyndromic congenital, 3;
Symbol : NDNC3;
CISMeF acronym : NDNC3;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Leukonychia totalis and/or partialis; Porcelain nails;
Included titles and symbols : Leukonychia striatus; Leukonychia punctata;
Description : A white appearance of the nails can result from whitening of the nail plate (true
leukonychia), the nail bed (pseudoleukonychia), or neither (apparent leukonychia),
and can be due to a variety of factors including infectious, metabolic, or systemic
diseases, trauma, or drugs. One of the rare causes of whitening of the nail plate
is hereditary leukonychia (summary by Kiuru et al., 2011). Leukonychia may involve
all of the nail (leukonychia totalis) or only part of the nail (leukonychia partialis),
or can appear as one or more transverse bands (leukonychia striata) or white spots
(leukonychia punctata). For a list of other nonsyndromic congenital nail disorders
and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity, see NDNC1 (161050).;
