Quantitative digital and palmar dermatoglyphics
Genetic Determination of Head-Size-Related Anthropometric Traits in an Ethnically Homogeneous Sample of 373 Indian Pedigrees of West Bengal
The substantial involvement of genetic factors in the determination of head-size and head-shape traits has been firmly established. However, there has been a lack of agreement on a number of specific issues concerning the pattern of inheritance of craniofacial features. In this study we examined some of these issues in a large, ethnically homogeneous sample of Indian pedigrees. The data included 1,263 individuals belonging to 373 nuclear families…
Mode of inheritance of dermatoglyphic pattern intensity index on fingers in five Indian populations
Our previous study (Karmakar et al. 2005 Ann. Hum. Biol. 32:445-468) was on 500 pedigrees of five different populations, with factor 1 comprising quantitative finger dermatoglyphics (including pattern intensity index, PII) and factor 1 controlled by major genes. The present results of a complex segregation analysis of the individual trait PII of the same five populations were compared with previous results to ascertain the extent of variation bet…
Complex segregation analysis of quantitative dermatoglyphic traits in five Indian populations
Major gene involvement in finger dermatoglyphics according to Mendelian models is confirmed
Relationship between genetic anomalies of different levels and deviation in dermatoglyphic traits
The present study is carried out to evaluate the effect of chromosomal morbidity (82% are 47XXY and in the remaining cases there is the extra X and/or Y) in the males with Klinefelter’s syndrome, based on dermatoglyphic traits and indices of diversity and asymmetry. The main objectives of the present study is to find dermatoglyphic traits and fluctuating asymmetry indices which could be “marker traits” and could indicate the degree of development…
Multivariate analysis of sexual dimorphism in two types of dermatoglyphic traits in five endogamous populations of West Bengal, India
Relationship between parameters of early growth in Israeli infants
Genetics of human body size and shape
Genetic factors substantially influence inter-individual differences in body shape and configuration in two studied samples. However, further studies are needed to clarify the extent of pleiotropy and epigenetic effects on various facets of the human physique
Dermatoglyphic sexual dimorphism
Five hundred families from five different endogamous populations encompassing the main social rank in the caste hierarchy of the same geographical area of West Bengal, India, were analyzed to present variation in qualitative pattern types on fingers and palms. Sex dimorphism, homogeneous in all populations, suggests common characteristics of dermatoglyphic patterns. The pattern types are not uniformly distributed on 10 fingers and palmar configur…
Relationship between genetic anomalies of different levels and deviations in dermatoglyphic traits. Part 7
This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of neoplastic diseases like carcinoma of the cervix and endometrial carcinoma, and was based on dermatoglyphic traits and their indices of intraindividual diversity (Div), fluctuating asymmetry (FIA) and directional asymmetry (DA). The results were compared with control groups of women and men, whose data have been detailed in our previous publications (Kobyliansky et al., 1999 a-d), and with ana…
Genetics of human body size and shape
In a previous study by the authors in each of the pedigree samples from Kirghizstan, Turkmenia and Chuvashia, four principal factors supposedly controlled by four non-overlapping gene subsets were found. About 90% of total variation of adiposity as assessed by 22 measurements of skinfolds, circumferences and indices were covered by these factors. This study provides results of segregation analysis of each of these four factors. By the usual trans…
Relationship between genetic anomalies of different levels and deviations in dermatoglyphic traits. Part 4
The present study was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of chromosomal morbidity (trisomy 21) in males and females with Down's Syndrome (DS) based on dermatoglyphic traits (DT) and their indices of diversity and asymmetry. The results were compared between parents and control groups of women and men whose data are detailed in our publication (Kobyliansky et al. 1999). The general aim of the study was to explore the possibility of using …
Genetics of human body size and shape
The present study utilized pedigree data from three ethnically different populations of Kirghizstan, Turkmenia and Chuvasha. Principal component analysis was performed on a matrix of genetic correlations between 22 measures of adiposity, including skinfolds, circumferences and indices. Findings are summarized as follows: (1) All three genetic matrices were not positive definite and the first four factors retained even after exclusion RG > or = 1.…
