Dermatoglyphic Assessment in Down and Klinefelter Syndromes

چکیده
Background: Dermatoglyphics are the dermal ridge configurations on the digits, palms and soles. Dermatoglyphic polymorphism results from the co-operation of genetic and environmental factors. The Dermatoglyphic analysis is a valuable completion of initial diagnosis of some syndromes genetically determined. Our objective was to assess dermatoglyphics study results against standard chromosomal analysis in Down and Klinefelter syndromes. Methods: In this study we applied clear plastic tape and graphite powder for finger and palm prints of 90 persons. Cytogenetic study was also performed for patients with Down (n=29) and Klinefelter (n=22) syndromes and 39 normal individuals who served as the control group. Results: Dermatoglyphic investigations indicated that in Down syndrome, simian line, ulnar loops, whorl, t'', t''' and t' were significant, whereas arch and interdigital III pattern were more indicative for Klinefelter syndrome. Conclusion: Dermatoplyphic can be used both as an initial diagnostic step and for screening purposes. Iran J Med Sci 2007; 32(2): 105-109.

The present study was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of chromosomal and monogenic or polygenic morbidity, as well as anomalies or conditions with still unknown genetic components, based on dermatoglyphic traits and indices of diversity and asymmetry. The main objectives of the present study is to find dermatoglyphic traits and ‚uctuating asymmetry indices which could be “marker tra...
متن کامل[Double aneuploidy: Klinefelter and Edwards syndromes (48,XXY,+18). Case report].
The co-existence of a double chromosomal abnormality in one individual is a rare event, even more the simultaneous presence of Klinefelter (XXY) and Edwards (trisomy 18) syndrome. The aim of this article is to report the case of a newborn with a double aneuploidy, which consists in the coexistence of Edwards and Klinefelter syndrome. The patient's phenotype correlates mainly with Edwards syndro...
