OBJECTIVE To determine if Chinese individuals with non syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) display more dermatoglyphic asymmetry than unaffected relatives or controls. DESIGN Case-control study with two control groups (genetically related and unrelated). SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A total of 500 CL/P probands from Shanghai, China, 421 unaffected relatives, and 66 cont...

The study analysed qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyphic features in schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis. Differences were found which support the view that these two psychoses are genetically distinct. A possible field for further study is discussed.

The present report deals with plantar and digital dermatoglyphics of indigenous Kenyan and Tanzanian subjects, aged 12–25 years selected from the cosmopolitan cities of Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam, giving a good mix of social backgrounds, that allowed for the inclusion of quantitative plantar variables. The results showed that plantar whorls were found only in zones III and I in Tanzanian women a...

The major aim of this study is to determine the mode of inheritance of asymmetry of quantitative dermatoglyphic traits based on principal factors through the application of complex segregation (genetic model fitting) analyses on a large ethnically homogeneous sample of 500 Indian pedigrees (2435 individuals) of two generations. By segregation analysis of the traits- PC1_FA both Mendelian and En...

Although human dermatoglyphics have been extensively studied, little is known of the prenatal origins of dermatoglyphic patterns. Digital patterns, i.e., loops, whorls, and arches, were obtained from 81 human abortuses, ranging in age from 11 to 25 weeks post-fertilization. Patterns were discernible with the earliest indications of epidermal ridge development. Findings indicate that pattern fre...
