Qualitative palmar dermatoglyphic patterns in cases of idiopathic generalized epilepsy

چکیده
The term dermatoglyphics is derived from the ancient Greek words ‘derma’ means skin and ‘glyph’ meaning carving. Dermatoglyphics is the scientific study of patterns of epidermal ridges present on fingers, palms, toes and soles. 1 Although Cummins and Midlo coined the term dermatoglyphics, it started as a scientific discipline with the publication of Purkinje’s thesis and Galton’s classic book “Fingerprints”. 2 Dermatoglyphic patterns are constant and individualistic. Abnormalities in the epidermal ridges may result from genetic alterations occurring around the first trimester, during the period of organogenesis, between 13 th to 60 th days after fertilization. 3
