Digit length pattern in schizophrenia suggests disturbed prenatal hemispheric lateralization.

Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology & biological psychiatry - 1 Jan 2004

Arató Mihaly, Frecska Ede, Beck Cindy, An Mary, Kiss Huba

Abstract excerpt

The differentiation of the human brain is triggered by sexual steroid hormones in the fetus. The development of both the urogenital system and the appendicular skeleton are under common control by the HOX genes. Generally men have longer ring fingers than index fingers, whereas in women these fingers are close to equal. The inborn digit pattern may reflect fetal estrogen/androgen influences on hemispheric brain...
