The importance of A′-d ridge count in dermatoglyphic diagnosis of the Ullrich-Turner syndrome

The dermatoglyphic characteristics of 52 women with the Ullrich‐Turner syndrome were studied and compared to those of a control group of 50 normal women. Through the use of discriminant analysis, it is shown that the use of the A'‐d ridge count alone has the same efficiency in separating Ullrich‐Turner syndrome patients from normal female subjects as discriminant functions here derived and other methods already published in the literature.
