Parents of patients with Down's syndrome show dermatoglyphic features intermediate between the affected and the normal population. Dermatoglyphs were studied on the parents of 19 cases of trisomy 18, but no similar "intermediate" traits were discovered. The number of cases studied needs to be enlarged before it can definitely be stated that trisomies 18 and 21 differ in this respect.
唐氏综合征患者的父母表现出的皮纹特征介于患病群体和正常群体之间。对19例18三体综合征患者的父母进行了皮纹研究,但未发现类似的“中间”特征。在能够明确断定18三体和21三体在这方面存在差异之前,需要扩大研究病例的数量。
