Complex segregation analysis of quantitative dermatoglyphic traits in five Indian populations.

TL;DR: Major gene involvement in finger dermatoglyphics according to Mendelian models is confirmed and the nature of transmission and trait variance strongly supports the existence of a common nature of dermatoglyPHic trait inheritance in populations, irrespective of ethnic and geographic area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mode of inheritance of dermatoglyphic pattern intensity index on fingers in five Indian populations: a comparative study between individual trait and its factor.

TL;DR: 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 between individual traits PII and its factor (factor 1) with respect to mode of inheritance.
Journal Article

Sexual dimorphism: asymmetry and diversity of 38 dermatoglyphic traits in five endogamous populations of West Bengal, India.

TL;DR: Five hundred families from five different endogamous populations encompass the main social rank in the caste hierarchy of West Bengal, India were analyzed for the present report, and the overall homogeneity of sex dimorphism among 5 populations is well pronounced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dermatoglyphic sexual dimorphism: finger and palmar qualitative characteristics in five endogamous populations of West Bengal, India.

TL;DR: 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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Qualitative finger and palmar dermatoglyphics: sexual dimorphism in the Chuvashian population of Russia.

TL;DR: Qualitative finger and palmar dermatoglyphics of 547 individuals belonging to the Chuvashian population of Russia were studied to determine sexual dimorphism.
