Fluctuating dermatoglyphic asymmetry: genetic and prenatal influences.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Arrieta M I, Criado B, Martinez B, Lobato M N, Gil A, Lostao C M

Abstract excerpt

Genetic and environmental prenatal factors influencing the fluctuating asymmetry of the a-b interdigital ridge count are examined. From the results obtained we can conclude that fluctuating asymmetry of the a-b interdigital ridge count is poorly influenced by genetic factors. We suggest that fluctuating asymmetry of dermatoglyphics provides a good measure of developmental stability in humans, especially for...
