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] [7]
