Abstract

There is well documented relationship between dermatoglyphics and specific syndromes of genetic origins. Since beta-thalassemia is a major genetic disorder in West Bengal, India, therefore, rapid diagnosis of major beta thalassemia along with certain preventive measures is of utmost significance. The aim of the present study was to understand the association of the finger prints patterns among the E-beta thalassemia patients of Bengalee Hindu Caste population of West Bengal, India. To achieve the purpose, bilateral fingerprints have been collected from 100 (Male-50, Female-50) diagnosed E-beta thalassemia patients from Bengalee population in West Bengal using standard ink roller technique. Examination on finger pattern type revealed significantly (p < 0.05) higher Whorls among the male patients in comparison to their female counter part. On the other hand, significant (p < 0.05) excess of Arches has been found among the female patients compared to the male patients. Present study envisaged that these finger dermatoglyphics patterns might be helpful for the diagnosis and screening of E-beta thalassemia in Bengalee population.

指脊型与e - β -地中海贫血的关系:对印度西孟加拉邦孟加拉人的研究

有充分的文献证明皮肤纹和遗传起源的特定综合征之间的关系。由于-地中海贫血是印度西孟加拉邦的一种主要遗传性疾病，因此，快速诊断严重-地中海贫血并采取某些预防措施是至关重要的。本研究的目的是了解印度西孟加拉邦邦印度教种姓人群中e - β地中海贫血患者指纹模式的关系。为此，采用标准墨辊法采集了西孟加拉邦孟加拉人诊断为e- β地中海贫血的100例患者(男50例，女50例)的双侧指纹。指型检查结果显示，男性患者的指型指数高于女性患者(p < 0.05)。另一方面，与男性患者相比，女性患者的足弓明显过多(p < 0.05)。本研究设想这些手指皮肤纹模式可能有助于孟加拉人e - β地中海贫血的诊断和筛查。
