dc.description.abstractAim: Dermatoglyphic signs are associated with genetic and environmental factors. The skin patterns of the hands can give clues about the presence of various diseases. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited disease characterized by periodic recurrent fever, abdominal or joint pain. In this study, we aimed to find out if there are dermatoglyphic findings specific to FMF disease. Material and Method: This study was performed between June 2018 and January 2019 in Departments of Medical Genetics and Anatomy, Cumhuriyet University School of Medicine, Sivas, Turkey. The dermatoglyphic data of 40 FMF patients, and 40 healthy controls were obtained with a digital scanner. For these populations, atd, dat, adt angles, a-b ridge count, sample types of all fingers, and ridge counts were calculated with the ImageJ program. Results: The number of fingertip lines and a-b ridge count were higher in the patients than in the control group. The angle of palm atd was higher in patients, but a decrease in dat angle was detected. Ulnar loop was significantly higher in the patients but they had a lower arch number. Dermatoglyphic signs were significantly different in FMF patients compared to controls. Discussion: The nature of dermatoglyphic samples of the patients we obtained in this study may be specific for FMF. Such studies can contribute to screening and evaluating populations for the risk of disease. The relation of dermatoglyphic findings with the severity and clinical course of the disease should be a separate research topic.
