“…Changes in ridge pattern are also reported to be indicators of CVS disorders (Rashid, 1964), 4 Diabetes (Barta, 1978), 5 Schizophrenia (Mellor CS 1992) 6 and ABO blood groups (Mahajan AA, 1986, Kshirsagar SV, 2003 7,8 which are thought to have genetic influence.…”

INTRODUCTION Dermatoglyphics is a scientific study of epidermal ridge configuration on palm, soles and fingertips valuable for medico legal and genetic investigations. Dermatoglyphics form in utero during early gestation and may be influenced by genetic and environmental factors operating at that time. Present investigation was undertaken to study alterations in dermatoglyphic patterns with special reference to various congenital heart diseases (CHD). The study involved 102 cases of CHD and 100 cases of normal individuals. It was observed that percent frequency of ulnar loops significantly increased in CHD group as compared to control group. Mean 'atd' angle was also increased in CHD group as compared to control group indicating distal displacement of palmar axial triradius (t). Thus, rise in frequency of ulnar loops and increase in 'atd' angle can be considered as one of the diagnostic criteria for CHD.

“…The simian crease occurs just as frequently in this syndrome as in Mongolism, being found in about 60% of cases. Rathad, Morton and Scally (1964) reported an incidence of 52% in Mongols, 10% in other defectives, and 1% in normal controls. Davies and Smallpiece ( 1963) suggested that the simian crease should be regarded as an indicator of impaired foetal growth very early in embryonic life and that this impairment may continue to be manifest as a low birth weight or in maldevelopment.…”
