Ectodermal dysplasia’s is usually associated with hair, palmoplantar involvement and dental abnormalities which are not present in our case. [2] The present case has been reported for the rarity of the condition, newborn presentation, associated features [ijpd.in]

• Nail Abnormality

  Various nail abnormalities are observed, including (1) anonychia (lack of a fingernail), (2) micronychia (a small fingernail deviated to 1 side of the nail bed), (3) polyonychia (multiple, small, individual nails on one nail bed), (4) hemionychogryphosis [dermaamin.com]

  The nail abnormalities are recognized at birth and include micronychia or anonychia, especially on the thumbs. The lunula can be triangular or V-shaped and this finding may be pathognomonic for the condition. [handresearch.com]

  Nail Abnormalities Lucas and Opitz108 have reviewed the literature. Although abnormalities involving the nail are generally present at birth, two separate reports describe postnatal nail changes. Fingers are usually affected. [sites.google.com]

  Various nail abnormalities result in pain or interference with functioning or both. Nail disorder may affect walking, picking up of fine objects and protective function. [odermatol.com]

Prognosis - Isolated congenital nail dysplasia The ICND is a lifelong condition. Patient documented by Pavone (1982) lost his nails almost completely in his twenties and did not regain them before he died at 77. [checkorphan.org]

Nail changes are not only seen in extensive alopecia areata but may also be present with minimal hair loss and does not imply a poor prognosis for regrowth. Uniform pitting is the most common abnormality seen in alopecia areata. [odermatol.com]

The etiology of this condition is unknown, but clinical study suggested that ischemia of the finger at a certain period of embryonic life might play an important part in its pathogenesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
