It is not significant.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your query.
Vertical lines or splinter on the nails are generally harmless and does not indicates any disease process.
Most often it is associated with minor trauma.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself without any complications or treatment.
