Parent-of-origin Effect in Schizophrenia and Non-affective Psychoses: Evidence from Dermatoglyphics.

Objective: This study aims at examining "parent-of-origin effect" (POE) in dermatoglyphic patterns among patients with schizophrenia and non-affective psychoses.

Materials And Methods: Dermatoglyphic comparison was carried out for schizophrenia patients (n=200) and healthy controls (HC) (n=100). In addition, the effect of family history and POE was examined in the dermatoglyphic pattern.
