Early detection of the syndrome is important for cancer surveillance and genetic counseling of family members who are at risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Objective<\/jats:title>To determine the prevalence of nail abnormalities in individuals with pathogenic germline variants in BAP1<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title>In this prospective cohort study, individuals who were known carriers of pathogenic BAP1<\/jats:italic> germline variants were consecutively enrolled between October 10, 2023, and March 15, 2024. Dermatologic evaluation for nail abnormalities was performed, including a history of nail abnormalities and associated symptoms, physical examination, medical photography, and nail biopsy for histopathology. This was a single-center study conducted at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>Primary outcomes were the prevalence and spectrum of nail changes and histopathologic characterization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Among 47 participants (30 female [63.8%]; mean [SD] age, 46.4 [15.1] years) ranging in age from 13 to 72 years from 35 families, nail abnormalities were detected in 41 patients (87.2%) and included leukonychia, splinter hemorrhage, onychoschizia, and distal nail hyperkeratosis. Clinical findings consistent with onychopapilloma were detected in 39 patients (83.0%), including 35 of 40 individuals aged 30 years or older (87.5%). Nail bed biopsy was performed in 5 patients and was consistent with onychopapilloma. Polydactylous involvement with onychopapillomas was detected in nearly all patients who had nail involvement (38 of 39 patients [97.4%]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>This study found that BAP1 TPDS was associated with a high rate of nail abnormalities consistent with onychopapillomas in adult carriers of the disease. Findings suggest that this novel cutaneous sign may facilitate detection of the syndrome in family members who are at risk and patients with cancers associated with BAP1 given that multiple onychopapillomas are uncommon in the general population and may be a distinct clue to the presence of a pathogenic germline variant in the BAP1<\/jats:italic>
