Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background Dermatoglyphics is the study of epidermal ridge pattern of sole palm and finger tips Dermatoglyphic traits develop in early phase of development and are genetically controlled Genetic basis of bronchial asthma BA is well established More than one member of the family may be affected by the same disease We tried to correlate dermatoglyphic patterns of bronchial asthma patients and their first degree relatives and its clinical implications if anyMethodology dermatoglyphic prints were obtained from the hands of 125 patients and their first degree relatives son amp daughter and compared with 150 normal subjects included as control group Both qualitative finger print pattern and quantitative parameters abridge count atd0 TFRC of the subjects were measuredResults Conclusions Study showed an increase in the number of whorls and TFRC in almost all the digits in BA patients and their first degree relatives as compared to control group Dermatoglyphic patterns help in early identification of patients with respiratory symptoms that may develop BA and helps in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with the diseaseKeywords AFRC Bronchial asthma Dermatoglyphics TFRC
