Abstract: | Finger-prints of the parents of thirty four Down children were compared with thirty four couples with two or more normal children
without a family history of genetic problems.
The parents with children affected by translocation Down Syndrome and those with mosaicism were excluded. A comparison of
the figure distributions in each of the fingers of the two groups shows a different distribution.
Parents of children affected by Down Syndrome occupy an intermediate position between the parents of normal children and the
subjects affected by Down Syndrome.
The total sum of values of A (arch), Lu (ulnar loop), Lt (radial loop) and W in each of the groups were also compared using
a contingency table. A significant difference (p<0,05) was found between both groups. The differences are imputed to the variables
A and L. |
