The dermatoglyphics of 47 male and 50 female schizophrenics of the Psychiatric Hospital of Santiago were compared with normal control groups. Male schizophrenic mean ‘atd’ angles were shown to differ significantly from normal male controls. Significant differences in variances were found between normal and schizophrenic females for total ridge-count, pattern intensity, ‘atd’ angle and ‘asymmetry’ index.
