    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Genetics
    • Rare Diseases

    Background:

    • Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare genetic disorder.
    • It typically affects the nails, kneecaps (patellae), elbows, and tibiae.
    • Associated symptoms can include renal and ocular abnormalities.

    Observation:

    • This report presents a case of nail-patella-elbow syndrome.
    • The patient exhibited typical nail and bone malformations affecting the knees and elbows.
    • Spondylolisthesis at the L5-S1 spinal level was also noted.

    Findings:

    • The case presented with characteristic nail and elbow deformities.
    • Significant knee bone malformations were observed.
    • Spinal spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 was a key finding.
    • Notably, no renal, ocular, or psychic alterations were present.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the diverse skeletal manifestations of nail-patella-elbow syndrome.
    • Understanding typical presentations aids in accurate diagnosis of rare genetic disorders.
    • Further research into genotype-phenotype correlations in NPS is warranted.
