Vlietinck, R. F., Thiery, M., Orye, E., de Clercq, A., and van Vaerenbergh, P. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 639. Significance of the single umbilical artery: a clinical, radiological, chromosomal, and dermatoglyphic study. A single umbilical artery is present in about 1% of all singletons. It is associated with a wide range of congenital malformations. Chromosomal analysis of o...

The aim of this study is to compare the pattern of sex differences between two different sets of dermatoglyphic traits (22 quantitative and 42 indices of diversity and asymmetry). Finger and palmar prints of Turkmenian population (547 individuals) were used for Multivariate analyses includes Cluster, Discriminant and Mantel test of matrix correlations. All variables (two groups) scattered into ...

Quantitative dermatoglyphic analysis ofdigitopalmar ridge count was used to research psoriatic symmetrical polyarthritis in fifty women. Analyzed were 25 dermatoglyphics traits: number of epidermal ridges on all ten fingers, their sum for five and ten fingers, four traits on both palms, i.e., between a-b, b-c, c-d and a-d triradii, and atd angles and their bilateral sum. The data obtained were ...

Dental caries detection at an early stage by applying dermatoglyphics and assessing the salivary pH levels can facilitate initiation of preventive measures a younger age. However, there are little data available to substantiate utility in studying genetic basis dental caries.Therefore,the present study was aimed assess correlation between dermatoglyphic patterns children with without Early Chil...

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...

Dermatoglyphics in infertile male patients were studied and compared with that of age matched controls to see whether any specific dermatoglyphic pattern exists in infertile male patients. Infertile male patients with abnormal semen profile were referred to Cytogenetic Laboratory for karyotyping. We selected twenty-four infertile male patients with abnormal semen profile. Out of twenty-four inf...

Background The Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic, hereditary, autosomic dominant, multiple anomaly syndrome, with an estimated incidence around 1-2/ 100 000 worldwide. Not all of the affected individuals have the same malformations. Five major criteria delineate KS: postnatal short stature, skeletal anomalies, moderate mental retardation, dermatoglyphic anomalies, characteristic facial dys...

Clinical and dermatoglyphic data on a male patient with complete trisomy 8 are reported and compared with those of other known cases of trisomy 8. The more discriminating findings for this condition are skeletal anomalies, restricted articular function, and speech problems.
