Abstract

Background: As carcinoma cervix and dermatoglyphic trait of an individual both are genetically determined, the dermatoglyphic trait can play an important role in early prediction of patients suffering from carcinoma cervix.

Objectives: The present study was planned to compare Total finger ridge count (TFRC) and Absolute finger ridge count (AFRC) between patients suffering from carcinoma cervix and healthy individuals and to determine whether the dermatoglyphic counts between two groups differ or not.

Methods: This cross sectional, analytical type of study was performed on 150 individuals. Among them 100 were patients suffering from carcinoma cervix and 50 were healthy individuals. For statistical analysis Chisquare test was carried out.

 Results: Study findings revealed that a significant increase in Total finger ridge count (TFRC) and Absolute finger ridge count (AFRC) in the patients with carcinoma cervix when compared to healthy individuals.

Conclusion: Quantitative dermatoglyphic parameters of fingertip, have shown association with the carcinoma of cervix.
