A new study suggests that subtle changes in fingernails, such as dark vertical lines or clubbing, could indicate an increased risk of cancer, including BAP1 tumour predisposition syndrome and lung cancer. While these changes can also result from non-cancerous conditions, it's important to get them checked to rule out serious health issues.
Experts warn that a small thickened patch beneath the nail, accompanied by a red or white streak, could indicate BAP1 tumour predisposition syndrome, a genetic condition linked to higher cancer risk. A study in JAMA Dermatology found that 88% of subjects aged 30 or above with this syndrome exhibited nail changes, suggesting a need for genetic assessment if such abnormalities are present.

Apple TV's latest sci-fi film, "Fingernails," explores a near-future where couples determine their compatibility by surrendering one fingernail each. The Love Test, as it is called, has become a societal norm, replacing romantic instinct with scientific security. The film follows Anna, who works at the Love Institute and finds herself torn between her partner and an instructor, questioning the efficacy of the Test. While the film builds an atmospheric sense of irony and challenges the systems used to measure love, it falls short in taking a clear stance and lacks a sense of urgency. "Fingernails" streams on Apple TV+ on November 3.
