“…Regarding the position of axial triradius, the present finding shows significant difference in atd angle measured in both the hands of schizophrenic patients and compared with the control group. This study is in agreement with the observation of Rohhammer et al (1971) 13 as well as Karmarkar and Malhotra (1981) 14 who reported marked difference between patients and control.…”

Dermatoglyphic is the scientific study of epidermal ridges and their configuration on the palmar region of hand and the fingers and plantar region of sole and toes. Dermatoglyphic pattern, such as Whorls, Arches, Loops and atd angle have been hypothesized to be indirect measure for early abnormal development process that can lead later psychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia. Under the genetic background of dermatoglyphic patterns and schizophrenia, the study was undertaken to determine the correlation between them. The present study include 63 male and 46 female of schizophrenic patient diagnosed at Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour(IPHB) Hospital, Goa were compared with control group accordingly. The patterns seen on hand and fingers were calculated and compared with the frequency of finger print patterns in control group. It was observed that there is increased frequency of arches and decrease frequency of whorls in control males and females which was significant difference, where as in female schizophrenics there is decrease frequency of radial loop compared to male schizophrenics and significant difference observed in atd angle of right and left hand between female control and female schizophrenics.

“…The Mean Absolute Finger Ridge Count (AFRC) in female patients was also less as compared to female control group. Mellor [9]and Rothhammer et al [17]reported non statistical difference in schizophrenic females and control group. N. N. Laha [18] studied dermatoglyphic traits in schizophrenics and revealed statistically insignificant difference in the mean values of ridge count.…”

Palm prints of 55 male and 33 female schizophrenic patients from Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh were examined for a possible association between palmar dermatoglyphic characteristics and the disease. There was a marked difference between patients and normal controls with regard to palmar C line termination, axial triadic, number of ridges at the a-b inter digital area and the frequency of various palmar flexion creases.

“…To distinguish between mild ridge dissociation only on the thumbs and scars healed by granulation is always difficult, and is best left to an experienced observer who has seen many examples of ridge dissociation. The principal differences are outlined in the Table. Other studies of dermatoglyphs in schizophrenia have not revealed an increased incidence of ridge dissociation (Sank, 1968;Mellor, 1968;Zavala and Nun'iez, 1970;Rothhammer et al, 1971), and the author has had the opportunity to examine the palmar dermatoglyphs of 600 patients with schizophrenia kindly lent by Dr. A. Pauline Ridges in Liverpool. There was not one example of ridge dissociation.…”
