METHOD(S): The study was done on 100 amenorrheic patients and 100 eumenorrheic controls with normal karyotype. Their finger tip patterns, hypothenar patterns, simian crease, Sydney line, interdigital area patterns (qualitative parameters of DGs) were analyzed. Printing method was used. The observations were correlated not only between subjects and controls but also between subjects with normal ...
