Background Dermatoglyphics refers to the study of epidermal ridges or patterns on fingers (fingerprints) and palms (palmprints). These epidermal ridges grow concurrently with a fetus's neural development during the intrauterine stage of life. Determining genetic anomalies using dermatoglyphics can help identify congenital deformities, various other medical conditions, and how the brain functions well ahead of time.

Palmar creases are unique, permanent, and genetically controlled morphological variables. Recognizing palmar crease types are important for personal identification, criminal investigations, and diagnosis of congenital diseases. This study aimed to reveal the anthropological characteristics as well as contribute to the diagnosing of congenital disease of Ethiopian people.

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which most cases are caused by de novo mutations. KS type 1 is caused by mutations in (OMIM: #147920) and is more common. KS type 2 is caused by mutations in (OMIM: #300867).

Objective: The objective of the study is to determine the association between nonsyndromic oral clefts (OC) in children and ABO, Rh blood groups, lip, and dermatoglyphic patterns of their unaffected parents.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted at a tertiary cleft center in Chennai, India, among 240 individuals comprising 80 units (40 cases and controls, respectively). Each unit (triad) was constituted by a child (0-12 years of age) either born with nonsyndromic OC (cases) or with no diagnosed congenital anomaly (control) and their unaffected parents (mother and father).

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare genetic condition with multiple congenital abnormalities and developmental delay. The cardinal manifestations of KS include characteristic facial features, intellectual disability, skeletal defects, dermatoglyphic abnormalities, and postnatal growth deficiencies. Cardiac and urological malformations are commonly present in patient with KS, as well as language deficits and immunological abnormalities.
