Dermatoglyphic parameters of 24 PWS individuals, 14 males, 10 females, were examined using standard techniques. Nomenclature followed that of Schaumann & Alter (1976). There were no differences found in the position of the axial triradius or the frequency of hypothenar patterns, but there was a decrease in fingertip ulnar loop patterns in both sexes with an increase in whorls in males (P less than 0.01) and whorls and arches in females (P less than 0.05). In males, the main line A terminated in the thenar area on the left palm more frequently than in the controls (P less than 0.01) and generally the main line A terminated low in both sexes. The total finger ridge counts were not different from controls indicating smaller than usual pattern size. Of 48 hallucal patterns, 26 were loops, 21 were whorls and there was one arch. This study confirms previous data that there are no pathognomonic dermatoglyphic distortions in PWS.
使用标准技术对24名普拉德-威利综合征（PWS）患者的皮纹参数进行了检查，其中男性14名，女性10名。命名遵循绍曼和阿尔特（1976年）的方法。在轴三叉点位置或小鱼际纹型频率方面未发现差异，但两性的指尖尺侧箕纹型均减少，男性的涡纹增加（P<0.01），女性的涡纹和弓纹增加（P<0.05）。在男性中，主线A在左手掌大鱼际区域终止的频率高于对照组（P<0.01），总体而言，两性的主线A终止位置较低。总指嵴数与对照组无差异，表明纹型尺寸小于正常。在48个拇趾纹型中，26个为箕纹，21个为涡纹，1个为弓纹。本研究证实了先前的数据，即PWS不存在特征性的皮纹畸变。
