“…Haemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Each person inherits two haemoglobin genes, one from each parent according to Mendelian genetics: Mendel law of independent assortment [10,16,26]. Therefore, the non-significant association occurring between the SCA and control groups for the TFRC is probably because, finger ridge count is inherited as a polygenic trait with additive effect by several genes whilst SCA is inherited as a monogenic trait through Mendel's law of independent assortment.…”

Dermatoglyphics have been utilized as models for the diagnosis of vast genetic conditions due to their relationship with the genetic make-up of an individual. However, little studies have been conducted worldwide trying to ascertain the relationship between dermatoglyphics and sickle cell anaemia. Therefore, the present study aimed at generating baseline data to elucidate the possible diagnostic value of dermatoglyphics for earlier detection and screening of Sickle Cell Anaemia (SCA) in Ghana. A total of 400 participants including 200 SCA patients from Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and 200 control group (CG) from KNUST were recruited for this study. The palmprints and fingerprints of the participants were taken and the sickling status of the control group was determined. Distribution of the three major fingerprint patterns, PIC patterns, ATD angle and total finger ridge count (TFRC) were determined. Loop dominated in both the SCA and control groups followed by whorl and arch. PIC 300 dominated in the SCA group while PIC 310 dominated in the control group, this was statistically significant. Also, the study recorded 5 unreported PIC’s (PIC 400, PIC 410, PIC 430, PIC 500 and PIC 510) in the Ghanaian population. The SCA group recorded a mean ATD angle of 43.62o while the control group recorded 41.61o, this was statistically significant. The SCA group recorded a mean TFRC of 67.17 while the control group recorded 78.49. The results of the present study have shown that, there is a relationship between dermatoglyphics and SCA and this will serve as a reliable indicator for earlier detection and screening of sickle cell anaemia especially in neonates.

“…6,16 Ramesh et al observed TFRC (Total Finger Ridge Count)and ATD angles (ATD angle is formed by lines drawn from the digital triradius (a) to the axial triradius (t) and from this triradius to the digital triradius (d) [Fig 3])with a significant increase in sickle cell anemia patients concluding sickle cell anemia to have dermatoglyphic correlation and that the same could be considered as marker for male as well as female patients as the diagnostic tool in linking sickle cell anemia to dermatoglyphics. 17 PadminiPramila et al observed an increased incidence of atd angle in male diabetics than the controls although no significant difference was observed for the same in female patients as against the controls.…”

“…In patients with sickle cell anaemia, the ulnar loop pattern had the highest frequency in both sexes of HB AS and HB AA individuals, TFRC and atd angles increased in frequency, whorls and Sydney creases were increased in males. Thus, dermatoglyphic traits could be considered as a marker for patients with sickle cell anemia [42].…”

Dermatoglyphics is the art and science of the study of surface markings and patterns of ridges on the skin of the fingers, palm, toes and soles. It is a useful tool for investigations into conditions with a suspected genetic basis. Over the past centuries, dermatoglyphics has evolved as a useful tool in the field of genetics, anthropology, biology, medicine and dentistry. Current scenario of medical dermatoglyphics is such that the association between fingerprint patterns and various systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, kidney diseases, hypertension, psychosis, breast cancer, alcohol embryopathy, epilepsy, congenital heart diseases, bronchial asthma, auto-immune diseases and many others has been established. This article discusses the advanced and recent applications of dermatoglyphics in diagnosing several dental, oral and systemic disorders. It also highlights the usefulness of dermatoglyphics as a diagnostic tool for many systemic conditions in the field of medicine. Dermatoglyphics is an accessible, inexpensive, useful, reliable and noninvasive method of exploring the genetic associations of oral, craniofacial and systemic disorders. Thus, apart from personal identification, dermatoglyphics serves as an excellent tool in screening population for several medical and dental disorders.
