Dermatoglyphics, when correlated with genetic abnormalities, aids in the diagnosis of congenital malformations at birth or soon after.. Klinefelter syndrome: excess of arches on digit 1, more frequent ulnar loops on digit 2, overall fewer whorls, lower ridge counts for loops and whorls as compared with controls, and significant reduction of the total finger ridge count.
Adermatoglyphia is an extremely rare genetic disorder that prevents the development of fingerprints. Five extended families worldwide are known to be affected by this condition. Five extended families worldwide are known to be affected by this condition.
Absence of fingerprints-congenital milia syndrome, also known simply as Baird syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder which is characterized by a lack of fingerprints and the appearance of blisters and facial milia soon after birth. [2] It has been described in ten families worldwide. [3] [4]

Following work on the use of argon ion lasers for fingerprint detection, [44] a wide range of fluorescence techniques have been introduced, primarily for the enhancement of chemically developed fingerprints; the inherent fluorescence of some latent fingerprints may also be detected. Fingerprints can for example be visualized in 3D and without ...
Child displaying typical facial phenotype of Kabuki syndrome. Specific symptoms for Kabuki syndrome vary, with large differences between affected individuals. [3] Most people with Kabuki syndrome have distinctive facial features that include arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, elongated eyelids with lower lids that turn out, prominent ears, a flat tip of the nose and a downward slant to the mouth.
Fingerprint powders used in the past contained materials that were considered carcinogenic and toxic. Lead and mercury components were removed from fingerprint powders due to associated cases of mercury and lead poisoning. [3] [5] [6] Modern fingerprint powders pose significantly fewer health risks because they are composed mainly of organic ...
The genes contribute to a trait, and the phenotype is the observable manifestation of the genes (and therefore the genotype that affects the trait). If a white mouse had recessive genes that caused the genes responsible for color to be inactive, its genotype would be responsible for its phenotype (the white color). [citation needed]
