Abstract
To confirm the clinical diagnosis of Down's syndrome by the evaluation of dermal patterns, methods of scoring were introduced by Borgaonkar and his co‐workers. In two preceding papers we demonstrated the applicability of these techniques for a correct diagnosis of Dutch Down's syndrome patients. As these methods require the rather elaborate analysis of a large number of dermal features, the present paper proposes a way of reducing the number of pattern areas to be analyzed while maintaining the approach and accuracy of the methods.
