Abstract
The research on dermatoglyphic study based on finger print patterns, total finger ridge count, total number of triradius, a-b ridge count and atd angle in simian crease group (the human Masukake-gata) was conducted at Minangkabau ethnic.The study used a purposive sampling method for the simian crease group and random sampling for the normal group. Data processing used qualitative and quantitative descriptive method and it was carried out in the Laboratory of Genetics and Cell Biology, Department of Biology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Andalas, Padang, West Sumatra. The results showed that the finger print pattern on the simian crease group was significantly different to the normal group. There was increased frequency of whorls in simian crease group. While the total finger ridge count, total number of triradius, a-b ridge count and atd angle on simian crease group were not significantly different to the normal group. The atd angle was recommended to be one of the other markers to predict rapidly trisomy 21 besides simian crease on palmar and proposed to no longer define the simian line just as characteristic of people with Down’s syndrome.
Key words: dermatoglyphic, simian crease.
