Dermatoglyphics in schizophrenia: the relevance of positive family history
RS Murthy and NN Wig
In the present study dermatoglyphic features were studied in schizophrenics
with and without positive family history of schizophrenia. It was found
that the difference between normals and schizophrenics was further
exaggerated in those schizophrenics with a positive family history for
schizophrenia. The implications of the findings and the need for further
work are highlighted.
