Dermatoglyphic features on fingers and palms were assayed in 50 male patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and in 36 families (184 family members, 1st degree male relatives). In patients significantly higher occurrence of whorls and arches on finger tips was found. Loops were significantly less frequent when compared to standard population patterns. Decreasing number of palmar patterns was found in AS patients. Distal position of triradius, as well as more frequent occurrence of t', t" make the difference between AS patients and Polish population. Main lines D, C, B, A in AS patients tend to end in areas of lower numbers (9,7,5,4). That makes a significant difference with results obtained from population studies (p less than 0.01). The main line D in the area 9 occurs more frequently in AS patients expressing HLA-B27 antigen than in patients not showing it (p less than 0.01).
对50例男性强直性脊柱炎（AS）患者以及36个家庭（184名家庭成员，一级男性亲属）的手指和手掌皮纹特征进行了分析。在患者中发现指尖处涡纹和弓纹的出现频率显著更高。与标准人群模式相比，箕纹出现的频率显著更低。AS患者手掌纹路数量减少。三叉点的远端位置以及t'、t"出现频率更高是AS患者与波兰人群的差异所在。AS患者的主要纹路D、C、B、A往往终止于数字较小的区域（9、7、5、4）。这与人群研究结果存在显著差异（p<0.01）。在表达HLA - B27抗原的AS患者中，9区的主要纹路D出现的频率高于未表达该抗原的患者（p<0.01）。
