[Clinico-dermatoglyphic correlations in patients with hyperandrogenia].

A clinical dermatoglyphic study of 100 infertile hyperandrogenic patients demonstrated signs of androgenization in all of those. Their dermatoglyphic parameters differed from normal. Hyperandrogenic patients with treatment-resistant infertility showed a higher degree of androgenization and more significant deviations of dermatoglyphic parameters, as compared to the patients whose treatment resulted in pregnancy. Dermatoglyphic characteristics should be taken into account in predicting the practicability of treatment in patients with infertility due to hyperandrogenism.
