    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Genetics
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Mal de Meleda (keratoderma palmoplantaris transgrediens) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.
    • Characterized by progressive hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, often with transgrediens extension.

    Observation:

    • Nail changes were documented in 11 patients diagnosed with Mal de Meleda.
    • A specific fingernail alteration was noted in 3 patients: proximal pinkness and distal paleness.
    • Fingernails displayed polymorphous changes, while toenails showed uniform alterations.

    Findings:

    • The study observed distinct nail manifestations in Mal de Meleda patients.
    • A unique nail color pattern (pink proximal, pale distal) was identified in a subset of patients.
    • Differential patterns of change were noted between fingernails (polymorphous) and toenails (uniform).

    Implications:

    • These nail findings can serve as potential diagnostic indicators for Mal de Meleda.
    • Understanding nail pathology may offer insights into the systemic effects of the genetic disorder.
    • Further research into nail changes could refine diagnostic criteria and management strategies for keratoderma palmoplantaris transgrediens.
