Abstract

Using medical students as controls, we devised a method of quantitative analysis of dermatoglyphic patterns. We calculated the frequency of appearance of each of the patterns and obtained the probability of occurrence of the dermatoglyphics of each of the controls. We showed usefulness of this method by presenting some examples of congenital anomalies where this has been put to use. Furthermore, patients with congential heart disease were compared with controls by this method.
