Dermatoglyphics is the branch of science that deals with the study of ridge patterns on fingertips, palm, soles, and toes. These patterns can serve as a noninvasive, cost-effective tool that can be used for the prediction of bronchial asthma. Objective: The present study was undertaken to study 'atd,' 'adt,' and 'dat' angles in bronchial asthma patients in comparison with controls. Materials & methods: palm prints were taken from 250 clinically diagnosed asthma patients from our hospital. Those prints were compared with 250 controls amongst the medical students and staff from the same hospital. Palmar prints were taken by standard ink method. From the palm print, the angles were measured and compared. Result: angles taken were analyzed between the patients, and the control group of individuals showed the statistical difference. Conclusion: we conclude that there is a genetic influence on the dermatoglyphic pattern, which can serve as a non-invasive, anatomical marker, and a predictor tool to determine the individuals with bronchial asthma.

Hypertension is a major contributor to the global burden of disease and mortality. A major medical advancement would be a better means to ascertain which persons are at higher risk for becoming hypertensive beforehand. To that end, there have been a number of studies showing that certain dermatoglyphic markers are associated with hypertension. This association could be explained if the risk toward developing hypertension later on in life is somehow connected with fetal development of dermatoglyphics. It would be highly valuable from a clinical standpoint if this conjecture could be substantiated since dermatoglyphic markers could then be used for screening out individuals who might be at an elevated risk of becoming hypertensive. The aim of this review was to search for and appraise available studies that pertain to the association between hypertension and dermatoglyphics.A systematic literature search conducted using articles from MEDLINE (PubMed), Trip, Cochran, Google scholar, and gray literature until December 2014. Of the 37 relevant publications, 17 were included in the review. The review performed according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement.This review showed a fairly consistent finding of an increased frequency of whorl patterns along with a higher mean total ridge count in digital dermatoglyphic results in hypertensive samples compared to controls. However, it was imperative to discuss several limitations found in the studies that could make this association as yet unsettled.

“…One of the factors that may contribute to the formation of genetic basis for the development of EH is polymorphism of angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene. In the studies carried out at the Department of Internal Medicine (medical faculty №2) of Vinnytsia National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, the relationship between combinations of finger patterns and variants of genotype of angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene was established among patients with ischemic heart disease and EH [8,10,15,18]. Currently characteristic features of dermatoglyphic fingerprints in individuals with no cardiovascular pathology, residents of Podillya region, have already been known.…”

“…Currently characteristic features of dermatoglyphic fingerprints in individuals with no cardiovascular pathology, residents of Podillya region, have already been known. Occurrence of ulnar loops and arches predominated in finger patterns on the right and left hands, although there were differences in occurrence of such finger patterns as ulnar loops and whorls between the two hands [5,15,18].…”

Essential hypertension and its common complication - chronic heart failure, is one of the most significant medical, economic and social problems in the XXI century. At the same time, this pathology is 30-40% genetically predisposed. One of significant pathogenic factors is the inheritance of definite variants of genes, coding the receptors to angiotensin II type 1. For this reason, the effective and inexpensive researches for screening of the mentioned genetic phenomenon are being carried out. Objective: to improve the screening diagnostic methods for carriers of polymorphic genes of angiotensin II type 1 receptors with essential hypertension and essential hypertension complicated by chronic heart failure. There were studied dermatoglyphic prints of men 40-60 years, who are carriers of polymorphic gene variants of angiotensin II type 1 receptor with no cardiovascular diseases (n=79), male patients with essential hypertension and hypertrophy of the myocardium (stage II), II-III stages (n=62) and essential hypertension (n=50) complicated by chronic heart failure, residents of Podillya region of Ukraine. Genotyping of the gene of angiotensin II type 1 receptor was performed using polymerase chain reaction. All patients included in the control group and those with essential hypertension underwent dermatoglyphic examination of fingers on both hands using modern portable rolling scanner Futronic FS50 (Korea). Interpretation and decoding of dermatoglyphic prints was conducted by T. D. Gladkova’s method. Statistical analysis was done on personal computer using standard statistical package “STATISTICA 10.0”. The found ulnar loop was dominant dermatoglyphic print regardless of the presence or absence of essential hypertension and chronic heart failure in 40-60 year old men. Besides, positive correlation relationship was revealed between the inheritance gene of angiotensin II type 1 receptors and fingerprint patterns: the third finger on the left hand in males with no cardiovascular pathology (weak strength) and the second finger on the right hand in patients with essential hypertension (medium strength). In individuals with no cardiovascular diseases, carriers of genotype A1166A, prevalence of ulnar loop on the third finger of left hand is higher than in carriers of C allele gene of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. In males with essential hypertension, carriers of C allele, degree of incidence of the whorl on the second finger of right hand is significantly higher than in carriers of genotype А1166А, offering the possibility to determine the carriership of a particular gene of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. Carrying out dermatoglyphic examination in patients with an increase in blood pressure and determining the variant of carrier of the gene of the receptor to angiotensin II type 1 will make it possible to facilitate the selection of those individuals who in the future need to spend all the necessary amount of research to confirm the diagnosis of essential hypertension and the possible development of complications of the course of this cardiovascular disease.
