[Study of fingerprints in 12 cases of hereditary brachydactyly type C and E (author's transl)]
Journal De Genetique Humaine
|December 1, 1977
Abstract:
The authors studied 7 patients with type C brachydactyly and 5 patients with type E brachydactyly. 1. In the C type cases the findings were as follows: a) frequency of anomalies of the digital folds (a fold of the digital flexion); b) frequency of single transverse palmar fold; c) the almost persistent presence of axial t triradius in the intermediate or distal position. 2. In the type E cases there was a predominance, at the digital pulp level, of cubital loops and whorls.

Overview
01:17Karyotyping
Describing the number and physical features of chromosomes can reveal abnormalities that underlie genetic diseases. This description is facilitated by special staining techniques that produce a particular banding pattern on each chromosome. State-of-the-art techniques make this approach even more powerful, enabling the detection of individual genes that cause disease.A Simple Chromosome Staining Technique Provides Valuable Scientific InsightSome genetic diseases can be detected by looking at...
01:43Sex-linked Disorders
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
02:30Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
