Background: Studies are being done to identify the potential early biomarkers of diabetes. Dermatoglyphics feature are genetically determined .Therefore the present study intends to evaluate the relationship between Dermatoglyphic patterns and type-II Diabetes Mellitus. Objective: To compare the dermatoglyphic features of normal individuals and patients with Type-II Diabetes Mellitus. Methodolo...

Introduction: Palmar dermatoglyphics is a simple, inexpensive andnon-invasive anatomical procedure which may be used as a reliable indicator for screening of high risk population in a developing country like India. Bronchial asthma is influenced by genetic factors and the present study was carried out to correlate the dermatoglyphic quantitative & qualitative parameters in patients of bronchial...

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...

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...

various dermatoglyphic parameters like finger print pattern, atd angle, absolute ridge count & ab, bc ,cd, and ad ridge counts were observed in 150 cases of congenital cardiac disease, comprising of 72 cases of ventricular septal defects (vsd), 60 cases of atrial septal defects (asd), 9 cases of coarctation of aorta (coa) & 9 cases of tetralogy of fallot’s (tof). same dermatoglyphic parameters ...

The aim of the present study is to examine differences in palmar dermatoglyphic traits between healthy controls and schizophrenic patients, thus investigate their possible diagnostic significance relation disease. included 344 subjects Bulgarian ethnicity, aged 18–64 years, 285 mentally 59 patients. patients met DSMV criteria for schizophrenia. Palmar prints were obtained by typographic method,...
