Description
Abstract
Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is the study of epidermal ridge patterns on the fingers, palms, and soles. The
correlation of dermatoglyphic patterns with many chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases is evidenced
by many researchers in the world. As cervical cancer has strong genetic association, the dermatoglyphic pattern
study can be useful as a screening method for early diagnosis and to find out the individuals at risk.
Aims: To compare the angle between line drawn from axial triradius ‘t’ at base of palm between the thenar and
hypothenar eminences to triradius ‘a’ (at base of index finger) and to triradius ‘d’ (at base of little finger)
inbetween cervical cancer patient and control group.
Materials and Method: This hospital based cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in different Medical
Colleges & Hospital. Histopathologically confirmed seventy two cases of cervical carcinoma of above 15 years
of age are considered as case & their first degree relatives were selected as control who are above 15 years of age.
The axial and digital triradius in palmar print was measured by using Ink method.
Result: A case-control study was done among seventy-two cases of histopathologically confirmed cervical cancer
patient of above 15 years of age and their first-degree relatives as control group of 72 females of above 15 years
of age. The palmar prints of both palms were collected by ink method and atd angle of each print was measured.
Data were analyzed by taking mean and standard deviation and tested by student’s t-test, considering p-value<0.05
as statistically significant.
Discussion: Statistically highly significant values are observed in the mean atd angle of the right hand of cervical
cancer patient (40.07± 3.24) compared to control (44.57±6.39) and also left hand of cervical cancer patient (41.49±
4.07) compared to control (46.88±7.83).
