Abstract

Objective: To correlate between fingertip patterns between type II diabetic cases and controls.
Methodology: One hundred type II diabeties mellitus patients (50 male and 50 female) were selected for study and compared with equal number of controls. Fingerprints were obtained by printing method. Parameters studied were arches, whorls, loops.  Distribution of fingertip patterns showed significant difference between diabetics and controls.
Result and Conclusion: In diabetic patient's frequency of whorls was significantly increased in both hands of males and females. While frequency of loops was significantly decreased in both hands of male and female diabetics as compared to controls. Arches were significantly reduced in right and left hands of male and left hand of female diabetics.
KEY WORDS: Dermatoglyphics, Type II diabetes mellitus, Whorl, Loop, Arch.
