    Digital dermal patterns, including total ridge counts, showed no significant differences between large-bowel cancer patients and controls. This suggests antenatal factors influencing fingerprints are not linked to large-bowel cancer risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatoglyphics
    • Oncology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Large-bowel cancer risk is influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
    • Digital dermal patterns (fingerprints) are formed during early fetal development.
    • Previous research has explored associations between dermatoglyphics and various diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate potential associations between digital dermal patterns and the risk of developing large-bowel cancer.
    • To determine if total ridge counts differ between individuals with and without large-bowel cancer.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study was conducted.
    • Digital dermal patterns and total ridge counts were analyzed in 149 patients with large-bowel cancer.
    • A comparison group of 298 population-based controls was used.

    Main Results:

    • Digital dermal patterns were found to be similar between the large-bowel cancer group and the control group.
    • No statistically significant differences were observed in total ridge counts between the two groups.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest that antenatal factors, which shape digital dermal patterns, are not associated with the risk of large-bowel cancer.
    • Dermatoglyphic features do not appear to be a predictive marker for large-bowel cancer susceptibility.
