Congenital malformations of human dermatoglyphs.

David, T. J. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48, 191. Congenital malformations of dermatoglyphs. A classification for congenital malformations of dermatoglyphs is presented, dividing them into ridge aplasia, ridge hypoplasia, ridge dissociation, ridges-off-the-end, and a combination of the last two. The medical and genetic significance of these are considered in the light both of prev...

Dermatoglyphs in skeletal dysplasias.

Finger and palm print patterns (dermatoglyphs) are formed in very early pregnancy, at about the same time the limbs are developing, and their formation probably depends upon the surface contours of the palms and soles during morphogenesis. Dermatoglyphs are useful in skeletal dysplasias for the detection and study of syndactyly and symphalangism, for dating the onset and the dysplasias, for dem...

Palmar dermatoglyphs in tuberous sclerosis.

Dermatoglyphs are well established as useful physical signs in patients with chromosome abnormalities, as well as being of interest in patients with certain congenital malformations. What is still unclear, however, is whether single gene disorders can directly affect dermatoglyphs. The dermatoglyphic changes found in the Holt-Oram syndrome (Rosner and Aberfeld, 1970) are often claimed to be an ...

Dermatoglyphs in congenital heart disease.

The palmar dermatoglyphs of 800 patients with anatomically proven congenital heart disease were compared with prints from 1000 controls. A review of the previous studies revealed major technical deficiencies, and the present study failed to confirm most of the previously reported positive findings. An overall increase in the incidence of hypothenar patterns was found, probably explaining the pr...
