Abstract
Dermatoglyphic findings were compared in 42 patients (32 females, 10 males) with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and 110 normal controls (70 females, 40 males). In CAH males, an excess of whorls (p less than 0.001), an increased total finger ridge count (p less than 0.05), and an increased frequency of patterns in the fourth interdigital area (p less than 0.025) was found. A main line A terminating high in the hypothenar area (p less than 0.05), and a missing c-triradius or an abortive main line C (p less than 0.05) was observed in CAH females. Both sexes displayed an increase in the frequency of small radially directed hypothenar patterns (p less than 0.05) and sydney lines (p less than 0.01).Keywords
