چکیده
Dermatoglyphics is important in anthropology and medical genetics, chiefly because of their diagnostic usefulness. We studied the ridges of finger tips and palm in six Klinefelter's syndrome patients (47,XXY) in the present work. Then the results were compared with equal number of controls. Statistical analysis was done using EPI- info, version- 6.04 d software. We found statistically significant increased in whorls and decreased in loops in klinefelter's syndrome patients as compared to the controls.

This unusual arrangement was reported in German cases of thalidomide poisoning by Pfeiffer and zu Berge (1964). Since that time the characteristic alignment has been found not only in English cases of thalidomide poisoning with radial dy...
