Abstract :

The aim of this study was to analyze the pattern present on palm print of a patient suffering from speech and he� impairment and comp� it with his mother. The word �Dermatoglyphics� comes from the two words Derma– skin, Glyphic–curves. The ridge formation of the skin of an individual begins to appear during 3rd or 4th month of fetal development. The fingerprints or the ridges on the palm and its pattern are determined by genes in emyonic life. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was first reported by Stein and Leventhal who reported women suffering from amenorrhea, enlarged or swollen ovaries with multiple cysts and hirsutism. Its marked expressivity, ambiguous list of associated conditions, and hence possible risk to a women�s health remains a genetic and diagnostic threat. Distinguish landmark had been found in the palm print of the patients suffering from PCOS.
