Examination of dermatoglyphic patterns in 112 diabetic children under 5 years and matched controls found no difference between the groups. Either those developing diabetes under 5 do not experience the same genetic and environmental conditions that influence its development in later life or the dermatoglyphic abnormalities described in later onset insulin dependent diabetes mellitus reflect the vast number of pattern formations available for study, which has inevitably led to some statistically significant associations.
对112名5岁以下糖尿病儿童及其匹配的对照组进行皮纹模式检查，发现两组之间没有差异。要么是5岁以下患糖尿病的儿童没有经历影响其成年后患糖尿病的相同遗传和环境条件，要么是晚发性胰岛素依赖型糖尿病中所描述的皮纹异常反映了可供研究的大量模式形成情况，这不可避免地导致了一些具有统计学意义的关联。
