Biological distances in dermatoglyphics of beta-thalassemic subjects.
Biological distances for dermatoglyphic qualitative and quantitative traits have been obtained from a group of beta-thalassemic heterozygotes and normal controls. The results indicate that the digital patterns have been the most efficient dermatoglyphic characters that differentiate between the two groups.
