Lethal acantholytic epidermolysis bullosa (EBLA) is an autosomal recessive skin disorder characterized by extensive epidermal dislodgment, universal alopecia, and anonychia. Cardiac involvement may be present. Death occurs in the neonatal period (summary by Hobbs et al., 2010).

Congenital absence of the nails is a rare condition. Some pedigrees display complete congenital absence of the nails (see, e.g., NDNC4, 206800), whereas in other pedigrees there is only partial congenital anonychia, with the thumbs and great toes most severely affected and progressively less severe changes in the more lateral digits (summary by Charteris, 1918). This form of nail disorder is referred to here as nonsyndromic congenital nail disorder-6 (NDNC6). For a list of other nonsyndromic congenital nail disorders and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity, see NDNC1 (161050).

Developmental delay, impaired speech, and behavioral abnormalities (DDISBA) is characterized by global developmental delay apparent from early childhood. Intellectual disability can range from mild to severe. Additional variable features may include dysmorphic facial features, seizures, hypotonia, motor abnormalities such as Tourette syndrome or dystonia, and hearing loss (summary by Cousin et al., 2021).
