Naegeli-Franceschetti-Jadassohn syndrome (NFJ) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by complete absence of dermatoglyphics, reticulate hyperpigmentation of the skin, palmoplantar keratoderma, and decreased sweating. Enamel defects and nail dystrophy have been observed in some patients. Decreased expression of keratin 14 in this disorder sensitizes the keratinocytes to TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis.
