Why do people think nail patella syndrome is somehow connected to colon cancer?


i have nail pattella and i read about it on a non profit web site. the site says that nps is connected to abnormalities of the arms and legs as well as kidney disease and glaucoma. my knees arn't the strongest but other than that i've been as healthy as a dog. is there something i shoud look foward to in the futureb

At present, the relationship is statistical. I am not sure there is a scientific explanation as to why some people with nail-patella syndrome are prone to colon cancer. Fong's disease in not very common. I saw only two cases in over three decades. With such rarity, there are few experts.

I am not sure how to point you in the right direction. Perhaps you could start by consulting a specialist in human genetics.
