“…Dermatoglyphie features -in KSP there is increase in the percentage of convexity of the hand fingers, coupled with a drop in the percentage of loops and whorls, increased frequency of arches, low TRC with a range of 118.5 -135.2 vs 152.27 in control, low values for the a-b distance and ridge counts, increase ridge breadth (Penrose and Loesch, 1967), and a very high percentage of patterns in hypotenar area, range 26.9 -49.1 vs 23.7 in control (Holt, 1963(Holt, , 1968Holt and Lindsten, 1964;Penrose, 1967a;Schaumann and Alter, 1976;Yoshida, 1977, 1978;Saldana-Garcia, 1977, 1979Shiono et al, 1977;Komatz et al, 1979;Reed, 1981;Jantz and Hunt, 1986).

“…In another report from Japan, more whorls and fewer ulnar loops were present in Japanese compared to Caucasian patients. Shiono et al (1977) suggested that an increase in the number of X or Y chromosomes decreased the a‐b ridge count in a similar way to the decrease in total finger ridge count. Frequency of each fingerprint type significantly differs depending on ethnicity, finger and gender.…”

“…There are many reports on the relationship between dermatoglyphics and sex chromosome anomalies, including Klinefelter's and Turner's syndromes (Holt and Lindesten 1964; Cushman and Soltan 1969; Shiono et al 1977; Pétremand‐Hyvärinen 1978). Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in humans.…”

The word “dermatoglyphics” indicates study of epidermal ridge configuration on palms, soles and fingertips. This investigation was aimed to analyze dermatoglyphic patterns in Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) patients. The study cohort consisted of 57 cases and 25 controls. The prints were taken by using the ink method. Fingertip patterns, triradial counts, a‐t‐d angle and a‐b ridge count were studied. There were significant differences in radial loops and whorls (p<0.05), and there were very highly significant differences in arches (p<0.001) in KS patients as compared to controls. Dermatoglyphic patterns at the hypothenar area (p<0.05), and areas between at the I. interdigital and thenar sites (p<0.001) have been found to be significantly different in KS patients compared to controls. Total ridge counts (TRC), a‐b, a‐t‐d angels were not different in the two groups (p>0.05). A definite correlation between the dermatoglyphic patterns and the KS has been shown.

“…In the palmar patterns of this syndrome, no characteristic findings, such as the increased hypothenar patterns associated with an ulnar triradius seen in the XXYY type (Shiono et al,, 1977), have been noted (Schaumann and Alter, 1976). On the other hand, the frequencies of several palmar pattern elements in the XXY type were reported to be different from those of normal male and female subjects (Holt, 1968;Cushman and Soltan, 1969;Penrose and Loesch, 1970).…”
