Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For". Template:Infobox medical condition (new) Anonychia is the failure to form fingernails or toenails.[1]

It is an anomaly which may be the result of a congenital ectodermal defect, ichthyosis, severe infection, severe allergic contact dermatitis, self-inflicted trauma, Raynaud phenomenon, lichen planus, epidermolysis bullosa, or severe exfoliative diseases.[2]

Cause

This is rare and is usually due to mutations in the R-spondin 4 (RSPO4) gene which is located on the short arm of chromosome 20 (20p13).[3]
