Regression analyses of digital ridge counts on pattern intensity index (PII) are performed on data from three populations. The results for two Papua New Guinean populations (608 subjects from Karkar Island and 397 from Lufa sub District) are compared with those for a dermatoglyphically very different population from the Faroe Islands (296 subjects). Digital relationships are examined within each population. Equating the statistical regression of digital ridge counts with the embryological regression of apical volar pads, some biological interpretations of the findings are suggested. The results indicate that developmental fields across the embryological hand interact with genotype to produce digital differences in dermatoglyphic phenotype.
对来自三个人群的数据进行了关于指纹嵴计数与纹型强度指数（PII）的回归分析。将两个巴布亚新几内亚人群（来自卡尔卡尔岛的608名受试者和来自卢法分区的397名受试者）的结果与法罗群岛一个在皮纹学上差异很大的人群（296名受试者）的结果进行了比较。在每个人群内部检查了指纹关系。通过将指纹嵴计数的统计回归与掌侧顶端垫的胚胎学回归等同起来，对研究结果提出了一些生物学解释。结果表明，胚胎手部的发育区域与基因型相互作用，从而在皮纹表型上产生指纹差异。
