- Brief Summary
•Research is the quest for new knowledge. The present research is entitled Case control study of Jatya-andh with special reference to its relation with palmer dermatoglyphics.
•Acc to modern science, genetic factors play a role in many kinds of eye disease, including those diseases that are the leading cause of blindness among infants, children and adults. More than 60 percent of cases of blindness among infants are hereditary such as congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma, retinal degeneration, optic atrophy and eye malformations.
•According to modern science, eyes and skin, brain all are developed from ectoderm at same time during 10th to 16th week of intrauterine period. If there is any developmental anomaly found in ectoderm, it should be reflected in both of its derivatives, likely to be reflected in the dermatoglyphic patterns.
•Since dermal ridges develop during 6th-13th weeks of gestation, genetic message carried in the genome - normal or abnormal - is deciphered during this period is reflected in dermatoglyphics.
•Dermatoglyphics as a diagnostic aid is now well established in number of diseases which have strong hereditary basis and is employed as a method for screening of different diseases like Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome Schizophrenia, Leprosy; Congenital heart diseases, Bronchial asthma and many more has been well documented in recent years.
•The present attempt is to study whether there is a set of pattern of dermatoglyphics in patients with blindness.
\* Till date we have collected the palmer dermatoglyphics prints of 250 diagnosed patients of jatya-andh between the age group of 0-16 years and also collected palmer dermatoglyphic prints of 250 normal children of same age group and area.

Study & Design
- Study Type
- Observational
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dermatoglyphic alterations may be the result of early prenatal disturbances, so there must be significant difference in the palmer dermatoglyphic patterns of healthy individuals and patients suffering from jatya-andh. 4 weeks
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The purpose of this study is to establish dermatoglyphics a simple and inexpensive means of determining whether a patient had a particular chromosomal defect. The present attempt is to study whether there is a set of pattern of dermatoglyphics in patients with blindness. 4 weeks
