An Assessment of Dermatoglyphic Patterns in Primary and Secondary Amenorrhea
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
The systematic study of the skin ridge patterns on the varied places such as fingers, toes, palms of the hands and soles of feetis socalled Dermatoglyphics. Although various dermatoglyph studies are reported in primary amenorrhea from time to time with reference to numerous clinical and nonclinical conditions.There is a shortage of knowledge associated with study of dermatoglyphic patterns with reference to primary as well as secondary amenorrhea. This present prospective study was designedto check at the same time finger and palmar dermatoglyphic patterns in amenorrhea patients. An attempt was made to seek out whether or not a particular dermatoglyphic trait exists in amenorrhea. Palmar and finger prints of patients with primary and secondary amenorrhea were collected and qualitative analysis of fingertip patterns was carried out by recordingwhorls (simple vs.composite), loops (ulnar vs. radial) and arches (plain vs. tented). The Fingertip pattern was done by total finger ridge count. We observed a significant increase in fingertip pattern (whorl, arches, and loop), as well as total finger ridge count in primary amenorrhoea patient as compare to control. There was not any significant variation was seen in secondary amenorrhea patients as compared to controls. This finding may be quite useful as a supportive investigation, and could be used in amenorrheic subjects for further referral for karyotyping and counseling in the Indian subcontinent furthermore as globally.
