The genesis of dermatoglyphics

TL;DR: Dermatoglyphics are not primarily genetically determined, but provide an indirect, indelible historical perspective of the form of the early fetal hand.

Finger-print pattern and the sex chromosomes.

TL;DR: Evidence suggests that the finger-tip pattern size, as measured by the total ridge-count, is an autosomal trait which is independently influenced by the sex-chromosome complement, normal or abnormal.

Dermatoglyphic anomalies in turner's syndrome.

TL;DR: Penrose et al. as discussed by the authors examined palm-prints collected from cases of Turner's syndrome diagnosed by Prof. E. P. Polani and found that the increased distance between the palmar triradii a and b and the relatively high position of the axial triradradius were noted.
