Field:Dermatology

Laryngo-onycho-cutaneous syndrome (also known as Shabbir syndrome) is a rare epithelial disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.[1] [2] It is characterized by abnormalities in the larynx, nails ("onycho-"), and skin ("cutaneous").[3] The disorder is only found in Punjabi Muslims and only a few cases have been reported.[4]

It was characterized by Pakistani dermatologist Syed Ghulam Shabbir (1923–2002)[5] in 1986.[6]

It may be associated with LAMA3.[7]
