[Dermatoglyphic investigations in respect to the genetic basis of autoimmune diseases (author's transl)].
Dermatoglyphics of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and Sjögren's syndrome were very different from the striking findings in Hashimoto's thyroiditis established in 1971 (Weninger and coworkers). Hence, it was concluded that the characteristic dermatoglyphic pattern of Hashimoto's thyroiditis is specific for this autoimmune disease, but not the expression of a general genetic predisposition to autoimmunity.
