Dermatoglyphic patterns, specifically whorls (WD), were more common on fingers in individuals with diabetes mellitus. These individuals also showed lower pattern intensity and higher total ridge count (TRC) compared to controls.

Area of Science:

Dermatoglyphics
Endocrinology
Genetics

Background:

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with potential links to genetic and developmental factors.
Dermatoglyphics, the study of fingerprints, can reflect early developmental variations.
Previous research suggests dermatoglyphic differences in various diseases, but specific patterns in diabetes require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate dermatoglyphic feature variations in children and adults with diabetes mellitus.
To compare these features against a control group to identify potential diagnostic markers.

Main Methods:

Dermatoglyphic analysis of fingerprints and palm prints from 290 children and 180 adults with diabetes mellitus.
Comparison of pattern types (e.g., whorls, arches, loops), pattern intensity, and total ridge count (TRC) with healthy controls.

Main Results:

Significantly higher frequency of whorls (WD) on fingers in diabetic patients.
Lower pattern intensity observed in specific interdigital areas of diabetic individuals.
A higher total ridge count (TRC) was more prevalent in both male and female diabetic patients compared to controls.

Conclusions:

Dermatoglyphic features, including whorl frequency, pattern intensity, and TRC, are altered in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
These findings suggest potential utility of dermatoglyphics as a non-invasive indicator associated with diabetes.
