Understanding nail related symptoms and features

Symptoms may affect multiple parts of the body. Understanding which part of the body a symptom affects, can help us to better understand the potential underlying causes of a symptom, including a rare disease or genetic syndrome.

Nails are a part of the integumentary system of the body, a system which includes not only the nails but also hair and skin too. The integumentary system acts to protect our body from external threats or injury.

Generally, symptoms affecting the nails can be seen with the eye. Although diagnosing a nail related symptom may involve different tests and assessments, both subjective and objective.

Symptoms relating to the nails may be temporary or permanent. They may affect the tone, texture and appearance of the nail in different ways. They may also cause some level of discomfort.

What is Hypoplastic Fingernail (underdeveloped fingernail)?

The underdevelopment of a fingernail. The fingernail fails to grow properly or completely.

What should I do next?

In some instances underdeveloped fingernails may be one of the features of a rare disease or genetic syndrome. In this case fast, targeted genetic analysis can give you a more accurate diagnosis.
