Sažetak
Quantitative dermatoglyphic analysis of digitopalmar ridge count was used to research psoriatic symmetrical polyarthritis in fifty women. Analyzed were 25 dermatoglyphics traits: number of epidermal ridges on all ten fingers, their sum for five and ten fingers, four traits on both palms, i.e. between a-b, b-c, c-d and a-d triradii, and atd angles and their bilateral sum. The data obtained were compared with those recorded in a control group of 200 pairs of imprints of phenotypically healthy females from Zagreb area. Statistically significant differences were found in 13 variables in decreased ridge count in all ten fingers, their sum in five and ten fingers separately. Accordingly, a polygenetic system identical in some loci to polygenic system predisposing to women psoriatic symmetrical polyarthritis susceptibility might be found responsible for the dermatoglyphic pattern development.
