title: Dermatoglyphics in Darier's disease.
abstract: Palmar and fingerprints were taken from 70 patients with Darier's disease and 409 normal controls. The dermatoglyphic characteristics of each group were determined and comparisons were made between them. Dermatoglyphic abnormalities were found; some confirmed previous findings and some were novel, but they are too small in degree and frequency to be of use diagnostically.
