• | AKA hereditary osteoonychodysplasia (HOOD) |
• | triangular lunula = pathognomonic |
• | uncommon, autosomal dominant |
• | interesting because involves abnormalities of ectodermal and mesodermal structure |
◆ | in every case, the thumb nails are always involved and the most affected and the remaining nails, if involved, are progressively less damaged from index to little finger (hypoplastic nails) |
• | bilateral posterior iliac horns (another feature) |
• | Lester iris; absent patella |
• | mnemonic – these horns look like triangles and so do the lunula |
