Only One Family Member Born without Fingerprints
Description
All of us are born with fingerprintsand everyone’s are unique. Therefore; they are the world’s oldest means of individual identification. However, people with adermatoglyphia or what is called the immigration delay disease, do not have fingerprints from birth. To date, only few cases have been described with additional clinical features in most of them. A case of adermatoglyphia in a 23-year-old Iraqi male who resides in Malaysia for 21 years is reported here. A comparison of this case with previous reports in the literature has been discussed and the fashion of inheritance of this disorder has been debated. Because of the problem in personal identification, this disorder causes the patient significant difficulties.
