“…9 Since skin and brain develop from same ectoderm, dermatoglyphic variations are informative for early developmental brain disturbances. 29 Dermatoglyphics is considered as a window of a congenital anomalies and is sensitive indicator of intra uterine anomalies. 30 The current status of dermatoglyphics is such that the diagnosis of some illnesses can now be done on the basis finger prints alone.…”

“…Once formed in their final form, the dermatoglyphic patterns exhibit no change except in their size, thus they form a typical clue for personal identification. Study of Dermatoglyphics was pioneered way back by Galton (1892) and since then Dermatoglyphics has been evaluated in various disease and disorders in medical field by Von O el et al 1 and Jalali F et al 2 …”

Early detection and intervention strategies for schizophrenia are receiving increasingly more attention. Dermatoglyphic patterns, such as the degree of asymmetry of the fingerprints, have been hypothesized to be indirect measures for early abnormal developmental processes that can lead to later psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. However, previous results have been inconsistent in trying to establish the association between dermatoglyphics and schizophrenia. The goal of this work is to try to resolve this problem by borrowing well-developed techniques from the field of fingerprint matching. Two dermatoglyphic asymmetry measures are proposed that draw on the orientation field of homologous fingers. To test the capability of these measures, fingerprint images were acquired digitally from 40 schizophrenic patients and 51 normal individuals. Based on these images, no statistically significant association between conventional dermatoglyphic asymmetry measures and schizophrenia was found. In contrast, the sample means of the proposed measures consistently identified the patient group as having a higher degree of asymmetry than the control group. These results suggest that the proposed measures are promising for detecting the dermatoglyphic patterns that can differentiate the patient and control groups.
