Abstract
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) looking for the genes determining fingerprint and palmar crease patterns disclosed one gene, among many others, which causes lymphedema (CELSR1) while others influencing tissue growth. Since digital fluid influences the height of the volar pads, influences of lymphedema on dermatoglyphics should be sought.
期刊介绍:
The Journal contains original articles, special features (see below), and information regarding the International Society of Lymphology. It seeks original papers dealing with clinical and basic studies of the lymphatic system and its disorders including related fields. Articles are accepted for external review and publication on the condition that they are contributed to Lymphology only and that no substantial part has been or will be published elsewhere.
