| Description |
Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare disorder characterized by a triad of nail abnormalities, chronic respiratory disease, and primary lymphoedema. Because most patients lack a positive family history, and given the typically late onset of the disease as well as the potential recovery of nail changes, YNS is generally not considered to be a primarily genetic disease. However, recent studies have suggested that defects in planar cell polarity (PCP) organization may play an important role in the pathogenesis of YNS.
