Dr. Sheetal Gupta, Dr. Mukesh Beniwal, Dr. Praveen Meti

Abstract :

Nail–patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant disorder reported in 1/50000 individuals, also known as hereditary onycho–osteodystrophy (HOOD). Diagnosis is usually based on clinical findings. We report a case of NPS which presented as nephrotic syndrome in a 3 year old male child. Physical examination revealed associated nail changes and bony deformities which were confirmed by the radiological evaluation.
