title: [Dermatoglyphics and creases in a family with brachydactyly (type Drinkwater I) to the question of the relation between dematoglyphics and four-finger-crease (author's transl)].
abstract: Dermatoglyphics and creases of three persons (grandmother, mother, son) with brachydactyly (type Drinkwater I) were examined. The finger prints showed only arches and loops of very low quantitative value. On the palm the increased frequency of a high ending of line D, of thenar patterns as well as the general tendency to form an ulnar loop on the hypothenar region were striking. All the three persons had a classical transverse crease (four-finger-crease) on both hands. The relation between dermatoglyphics and transverse crease is discussed from the aspect of the etiology of the four-finger-crease.
