title: [Dermatoglyphic studies in primary and secondary hypogonadism].
abstract: A dermatoglyphic study was carried out on a group of patients with primary and secondary hypogonadism, the results being compared with a control group of healthy males and females. The analysis of the data reveals that the morphogenesis of the hand skin relie on those patients results from the interaction of the determinative effect of the sexual chromosome, the differentiating effect of the hormonal state and from the eventually suffered intralaterine infection. In this way certain aspects of the etiopathogenesis of the disease are revealed and the genetic value of the dermatoglyphic method is underlined.
