finger patterns and ridge-counts in a random sample of iranian muslims consisting of 100 males and 100 females are described. the most common finger patterns found were loops, having a frequency of 54.4% u.l., 3.4% r.l. in males and 51.2% u.l. and 4.8% r.l in females. the frequencies of arches and whorls in both sexes were 4% and 38.5% respectively. bimanual and sex differences were indistinct....

Background Dermatoglyphics could assist in the diagnosis of congenital abnormalities. The aim of this study was to identify the dermatoglyphic patterns (finger print pattern type, total ridge count of each finger, a-b ridge count, and articulotrochanteric distance [ATD angles]) in the parents of cystic fibrosis children. Materials and Methods We recruited 75 parents of children with cystic fibr...

the aim of the this work was to determine the finger patterns, finger ridge count (frc), total finger ridge count (tfrc), and asymmetry of finger ridge count (afrc) of an iranian girl (aged 13 years) affected with congenital cutis laxa (ccl).the fingerprints of the first phalanx of both hands were taken by using the standard method (stamp ink). the fingerprints were classified according to the ...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION/AIM Dermatoglyphics is a science that ex amines dermal patterns on volar side of both palms and soles. Since dermatoglyphs are unique for each person, by examining them a number of parameters can be determined. These parameters could help to diagnose and treat exam ined individulas. The aim of this study was to determine possible differences of the dermathoglyphic characteristics o...

bilateral finger and palm prints of 500 males and 500 females of the caucasian origin in south iran have been collected and analyzed for both qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyhic features. results show that most of the qualitative features on bilateral and bisexual differences are not significant. however, quantitative features frequently showed significant differences both bilaterally an...

The Rengma Nagas are one of the major Mongoloid tribal populations in the North-Eastern state of Nagaland in India. Population variation and sexual dimorphism in respect of finger dermatoglyphic characteristics in 207 adult individuals (104 males and 103 females) are reported in this present context. Frequency distribution of finger pattern types in different digits (both left and right sides c...

BACKGROUND Several studies have reported alterations in finger and a-b ridge counts, and their derived measures of asymmetry, in schizophrenia compared to controls. Because ridges are fully formed by the end of the second trimester, they may provide clues to disturbed early development. The aim of this study was to assess these measures in a sample of patients with psychosis and normal controls...

The present study has attempted to explore the relationship among three Slovakian Haban populations with other Central European populations using finger ridge-count data. A multivariate approach to the analysis of finger-ridge count data allows for the study of population relationships using R-matrix calculations. Historical and ethnographic evidence suggests that the Haban populations have rem...

Finger print patterns of 150 leprosy patients (100 paucibacillary and 50 multibacillary leprosy) were compared with 100 controls matched accordingly. The finger print pattern such as whorls, loops, arches, total finger ridge count (TFRC) and absolute finger ridge count (AFRC) were calculated. These dermatoglyphic parameters were compared to that of the controls. It was observed that the finger ...
