Dermatoglyphic fluctuating asymmetry in twins and singletons.

The influence of twinning on developmental stability was measured by comparing fluctuating asymmetry in dermatologlyphic traits in monozygotic twins, dizygotic twins, and singletons. Despite reports that twinning has been reported to influence development of traits such as birth weight and I.Q., no significant difference in fluctuating asymmetry was found between different zygotic categories.

Fluctuating asymmetry in quantitative dermatoglyphic traits: twins and singletons.

Fluctuating asymmetry for the digital quantitative value was analyzed in a sample of twins (mono and dizygotic) and singletons. The aim was to check if the influence of twinning on the development is expressed in a higher fluctuating asymmetry in twins than in singletons. The results have shown that significant differences exist among the three groups studied, and these differences are fundamentally expressed when the radial and ulnar counts are considered separately.

Dermatoglyphic patterns, very low birth weight, and blood pressure in adolescence.

AIMS: To test the null hypotheses that finger and palm prints have no relation with fetal growth or adolescent blood pressure. METHODS: All 128 singleton, unimpaired, very low birth weight (VLBW; < or =1500 g) infants born to mothers resident in the county of Merseyside in 1980 and 1981 were studied retrospectively. The comparison group consisted of 128 age, sex, and school matched children. Main outcome measures were blood pressure at age 15 years, birth weight ratio, fingerprint patterns, and palmar AtD angles. RESULTS: The VLBW index population had a significantly higher systolic blood pressure than the comparison group (mean difference 3.2 mm Hg). The difference in diastolic blood pressure between the VLBW index and the matched comparison group was not significant. No significant differences were found in the palmar AtD angles or in the fingerprint proportions of arches, loops, and whorls and no correlation was found between fingerprint patterns and blood pressure. Among the VLBW index population, both height and right palmar AtD angle were independently and significantly correlated with and explained 12.1% of the variance in the systolic blood pressure. Birth weight ratio, as a measure of fetal growth restriction, had no significant correlation with systolic blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: The higher systolic blood pressure of adolescents who were of very low birth weight compared with the matched comparison group is not associated with fingerprint patterns or birth weight ratio as markers for fetal growth restriction.
