ABSTRACT
In the present study, dermatolyphic parameters were analysed in the handprints of 25 LL/BL, 25 TT/BT and 25 healthy persons, by printer's ink method. Frequency of loops, were more on right hand and whorls were more on left hand in LL patients as compared to normal healthy controls. In TT the whorls were less frequent than in controls. The a-b ridge count in LL patient has shown insignificant difference from control while the same in TT was significantly decreased (P less than 0.05). Distance between distal wrist crease and axial triradius was significantly decreased in LL as compared to normal (P less than 0.05), whereas no such decrease was observed in TT patients.
