A study of 100 MZ (55 female and 45 male) and 97 DZ (50 male and 47 female) same-sexed twin pairs was carried out to analyse the genetic component of the variance of the a-b, b-c and c-d interdigital ridge counts by means of the Christian method. Especially for the a-b interdigital ridge count, we found it important to analyse both sexes separately. Our results suggest that the a-b count in males seems to be more...
