ABSTRACT Finger print patterns of 100 female patients of cancer of breast were compared with 100 matched controls accordingly. A pattern of six or more digital loops were identified more frequently in women with breast cancer than those without the disease (p 6 whorls are also significantly associated negatively with carcinoma of breast (χ2 =16.61, d f=1, p 6 whorls have a protective effect for carcinoma of breast. (OR=0.1319, 95% C.I. = 0.035-0.49). These findings suggest that the digital dermatoglyphics may have a future role in identifying women at increased risk for breast cancer. |
