Relationship between genetic anomalies of different levels and deviation in dermatoglyphic traits

Dermatoglyphics in turner syndrome

“…The higher mean total ridge counts noticed in turners of present study (147.4) in comparison to their control female counterparts (121,1) were found to be in agreement with the findings reported on turner patients of western (Holt & Lindsten 1964, Kobyliansky et al 1997 as well as of Indian origin (Saxena and Kumar 1968a).

“…However, there is paucity of information concerning dermatoglyphics of this entity but some meaningful work has emanated from countries like Israel (Kobyliansky et al 1997) and Romania (Richards et al 1992) including India by Saxena and Kumar 1968a who studied dermatoglyphics in 3 patients clinically diagnosed as cases of Turner syndrome .An extremely meagre number of patients without the confirmation of their diagnosis karyotypically are the main limitations of the study conducted by these Indian workers. The role of dermatoglyphics in corroborating a clinical diagnosis of genetic syndromes is well accepted.…”

The morphological diversity of dermatoglyphic patterns on fingers—A simple and objective method for measurement

“…The PII index, together with other descriptive features, or more often with quantitative characteristics, is taken into account in population research, e.g., Harich et al (2002), Karmakar et al (2002aKarmakar et al ( , 2008a, ,b, 2012, 2013a, Kavgazova et al (1999), Kobyliansky and Micle (1987), Martín et al (1996), Kobyliansky (1985, 1986), Morelli et al (1999), Pons (1990), Scheil et al (2005), Sengupta and Karmakar (2003), Siváková and Pospíšil (2001), Sokal and Livshits (1993), clinical research, e.g., Bejerano et al (2001), Floris and Marini (1998), Kobyliansky et al (1997Kobyliansky et al ( , 1999aKobyliansky et al ( ,b, 2004b, Kobyliansky et al, 2005), as well as in intercorrelation research, e.g., Loesch (1986), research on the asymmetry of dermatoglyphs, e.g., Buchwald (2002), Karmakar et al (2001Karmakar et al ( , 2005a, Micle and Kobyliansky (1991).…”

Molecular Genetics of Non-Syndromic Clefts Revisited

“…Furthermore, non-right-handed patients show a greater tendency for having a cleft than the right-handed patients, but the specific nature of this relationship remains unclear [7]. The correlation between dermatoglyphic patterns and nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate has been extensively studied [8,9,10,11]. In patients with OFCs several dental traits such as hypodontia, supernumerary teeth, dental asymmetry and delay in tooth development on the side of cleft was reported [12].…”
