[Study of fingerprints in 12 cases of hereditary brachydactyly type C and E (author's transl)].
The authors studied 7 patients with type C brachydactyly and 5 patients with type E brachydactyly. 1. In the C type cases the findings were as follows: a) frequency of anomalies of the digital folds (a fold of the digital flexion); b) frequency of single transverse palmar fold; c) the almost persistent presence of axial t triradius in the intermediate or distal position. 2. In the type E cases there was a predominance, at the digital pulp level, of cubital loops and whorls.
