Abstract:
In developing countries, most common cancer among women worldwide is carcinoma of cervix. The sample constituted 110 histopathologically confirmed cases of carcinoma of cervix and 110 normal healthy females with no obvious genetic disorder. Different parameters like fingertip patterns, interdigital area patterns, total finger ridge count (TFRC), absolute finger ridge count (AFRC), atd angle, palmar ridge count (a-b, b-c, c-d, t-d) were studied. Statistical analysis of data showed significant increase in frequency of whorls, total finger ridge count (TFRC), absolute finger ridge count (AFRC) & atd angle in both hands of carcinoma cervix patients as compared to controls. There was significant decrease in frequency of ulnar loops & t-d ridge count in both hands of carcinoma In developing countries, most common cancer among women worldwide is carcinoma of cervix.

There was significant decrease in frequency of ulnar loops & t-d ridge count in both hands of carcinoma cervix patients as compared to controls. While there was no any significant difference in the frequency of radial loops, arches, interdigital area patterns & a-b, b-c, c-d ridge counts between patients & controls.cervix patients as compared to controls. While there was no any significant difference in the frequency of radial loops, arches, interdigital area patterns & a-b, b-c, c-d ridge counts between patients & controls.
