Palmar Dermatoglyphics in Schizophrenia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Palm prints of 55 male and 33 female schizophrenic patients from Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh were examined for a possible association between palmar dermatoglyphic characteristics and the disease. There was a marked difference between patients and normal controls with regard to palmar C line termination, axial triadic, number of ridges at the a-b inter digital area and the frequency of various palmar flexion creases.

BACKGROUND Patients with schizophrenia show deviances in their dermatoglyphics, in particular reductions in palmar a-b ridge counts (ABRCs), which are evidence of an early developmental deviance. However, the severity or the origin of these ABRC changes has not been established. METHOD (i) We examined the published literature on the ABRC in patients with schizophrenia against controls with a ...

Dermatoglyphics, ridge constellations on the hands and feet, are permanently formed by the second trimester of pregnancy. Consequently, they are considered "fossilized" evidence of a specific prenatal period. A high frequency of dermatoglyphic anomalies, or a high rate of dermatoglyphic asymmetry (discordance), is an indication of developmental instability (prenatal disturbances) prior to 24-we...

Background: Palmar dermatoglyphics has been and is being studied in many diseases and alterations in normal patterns have been noted. It has been an accepted fact that genetics plays an important role in determination of palmar dermatoglyphic patterns. Millions of people chew gutkha, but all of them do not suffer from oral submucous fibrosis (o.s.m.f.) It seems likely that a genetic predisposit...

A study of the palmar dermatoglyphics pathology, on a group of 54 mongoloid children (33 boys and 21 girls) in order to know the main malformative stigmata specific to Down syndrome have been set up. A large scale of palmar dermatoglyphic anomalies have been found, most of which were on both hands of patients; they were correlated with a high degree of their somatic, physiological, neuropsychic...
