Phenogenetics of human dermatoglyphics (a factorial model)

The factor analysis was made of the intrapair differences of the quantitative characteristics of the finger dermatoglyphics in mono- and dizygotic twins. The mechanisms determining "laterality" and "locality" of separate factors are discussed. The developmental model is proposed...

Summary:The factor analysis was made of the intrapair differences of the quantitative characteristics of the finger dermatoglyphics in mono- and dizygotic twins. The mechanisms determining "laterality" and "locality" of separate factors are discussed. The developmental model is proposed that suggests existence of several embryonic fields and subsequent incorporation of the genes to control the formation of finger prints.
