A comparative study of unusual dermatoglyphic and palmar patterns revealed significant differences between the frequencies of certain patterns among 200 congenitally affected mentally retarded children and 500 normal controls. A scoring method demonstrating the significance of eight unusual patterns as non-specific indicators of early intra-uterine fetal insult was devised. 10 per cent of the children previously classified as idiopathically mentally retarded were shown to have been exposed to early intra-uterine insult. Dermatoglyphic and palmar-crease analysis should be included as a routine investigation for children with mental retardation of unknown cause.
一项关于异常皮纹和掌纹模式的比较研究表明，200名先天性智力发育迟缓患儿与500名正常对照者在某些模式的出现频率上存在显著差异。设计了一种评分方法，用以证明8种异常模式作为宫内早期胎儿损伤非特异性指标的重要性。先前被归类为特发性智力发育迟缓的儿童中，有10%被证明曾遭受宫内早期损伤。对于病因不明的智力发育迟缓儿童，应将皮纹和掌纹分析纳入常规检查。
