    Thyroid cancer patients exhibit distinct digital-palmar dermatoglyphics, including lower total ridge counts and altered pattern formations. These dermatoglyphic variations may serve as potential, though not conclusive, indicators.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Dermatology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Dermatoglyphics, the study of skin patterns, offers insights into developmental variations.
    • Thyroid cancer is a significant health concern with diverse etiological factors.
    • Investigating potential correlations between dermatoglyphic patterns and thyroid cancer could reveal novel diagnostic or prognostic markers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate qualitative and quantitative differences in digito-palmar dermatoglyphics between individuals with thyroid cancer and a healthy control group.
    • To explore potential associations between dermatoglyphic variations, clinicopathological features, and ABO blood groups in thyroid cancer patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative and quantitative analysis of digito-palmar dermatoglyphics in 93 thyroid cancer patients and 200 healthy controls.

  • Comparison of total digital ridge count (TDRC), ridge count between a-d triradii, and pattern analysis (e.g., A line transversality/obliquity, interdigital patterns, sulcus transversus).
  • Exploration of correlations with thyroid cancer subtypes and ABO blood groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Thyroid cancer subjects showed a significantly lower TDRC and reduced ridge count between a-d triradii compared to controls.
    • The A line exhibited increased transversality in male cancer patients and obliquity in female cancer patients.
    • Increased interdigital patterns and a higher incidence of sulcus transversus were observed in the thyroid cancer group.
    • Some qualitative and quantitative dermatoglyphic variations were noted in relation to specific histopathological forms and ABO blood groups, but lacked statistical conclusiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant differences in digito-palmar dermatoglyphics exist between thyroid cancer patients and healthy individuals.
    • Specific dermatoglyphic features, such as reduced TDRC and altered pattern formations, are associated with thyroid cancer.
    • While preliminary associations with histopathology and blood groups were observed, further research is needed to establish conclusive links.
