An index has been devised using dermatoglyphics and selected physical traits to screen for patients suspected of having Turner syndrome. About 60% of females with and without Turner syndrome can be diagnosed as having or not having the syndrome with a 98% or greater probability. The patient's score on the index, expressed in probability, can be used to decide whether chromosome studies should be done. Using the approach demonstrated in this pilot study, the discriminative power can be increased by adding more features and by enlarging the sample to permit division of features into more discriminating classes.
已经设计出一种利用皮纹学和选定的身体特征的指数，用于筛查疑似患有特纳综合征的患者。在有和没有特纳综合征的女性中，约60%可以以98%或更高的概率被诊断为患有或不患有该综合征。患者在该指数上的得分（以概率表示）可用于决定是否应进行染色体研究。采用本初步研究中展示的方法，通过增加更多特征并扩大样本量，以便将特征划分为更具区分性的类别，可以提高鉴别能力。
