“…7). Thus, our results are not in line with Hirsch's (1965) findings, nor is there support for Rosner's et al (1967) report of a deficit of patterns in the fourth left interdigital of male patients. Again an absence of statistically significant differences is observed with pattern frequencies in the hallucal, II., III., IV.…”

Dermatoglyphics in PhenylketonuriaThe dermatoglyphic characteristics on the fingertips, palms and soles of 100 Polish children with proven diagnosis (urine test and blood serum tests) of PKU and of the parents of 23 of them were studied. Our results confirm that PKU is not characterized by dermatoglyphic differences. An apparent diminution in complexity of finger pattern type in patients is shown to be due to the genetic relationship between the parents and their offspring rather than the influence of the PKU disorder itself.

“…The palmar and digital prints of the Down's syndrome patients were collected under the supervision of Dr. Fred Rosner at three Virginia State Hospitals and Dr. Felix de la Cruz at the Children's Diagnostic and Study Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The prints from Dr. Rosner have been described in a prior publication [14]; diagnoses of these patients were based on clinical examination. The Children's Diagnostic and Study Branch patients had trisomy 21 karyotypes.…”

Palmar Dermatoglyphics of Down's Syndrome: Revisited

In previous reports the subclassifications for the terminations of the G line of the palm and for the interdigital palmar areas have been described. These subclassifications, as well as those of Cummins and Midlo for the hypothenar and thenar/I areas, were applied to anthropologic data and showed strong bilateral and racial polymorphism. The present study is an effort to determine the usefulness of these methods in investigations of clinical data. A well defined anomaly, Down's syndrome, which has known dermatoglyphic peculiarities, was chosen for this test. The study involved 145 male and 120 female patients and 108 male and 114 female control subjects. All subjects were unrelated Caucasians. Significant differences between the patient and control subjects were encountered in the subclassifications of the C line terminations and in the hypothenar area patterns. Significant differences were observed in the frequency of patterns in the thenar/I area as well as the expected differences in the simial lines. Sydney line frequencies showed no significant differences. SpeculationThe results of the present study suggest that the subclassifications of the palmar patterns and the C line terminations are of value in the investigation of clinical data by offering further diagnostic criteria not revealed by gross dermatoglyphic evaluation.

The frequency of finger and palmar dermatoglyphic patterns was studied in 239 patients with familial deafness, their 155 unaffected parents and siblings and 456 hearing school-children. Differences between the deaf patients and controls, as previously reported, were not confirmed. The frequency of simian crease, including transitional forms, according to ethnic group (Arabs, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews) among 979 hearing school-children showed significant differences according to sex and ethnic group. Considering the sex and ethnic group differences, the deaf patients showed the highest frequency of bilateral transitional forms, while their unaffected parents and siblings showed the highest frequency of unilateral transitional forms of simian crease. The diagnostic value of these findings is discussed.
