Abstract :
The cervix is female reproductive organ that form lower portion of uterus or womb and cancer occur when cervical cell grow out of control. Carcinoma of cervix is the second most common cancer (80%) among women worldwide in developing countries, it has a genetic background. The diseases which have a genetic base are the most ideal to study from the dermatoglyphic point of view. Dermatoglyphic refers to the formation of friction ridges which appear on the palm of hand and sole of feet. The dermal papilla, which determine the pattern of ridges develop during intrauterine life and remain unchanged. These patterns are individual characteristic. They are genetically controlled and environmentally stable, but during 1st trimester of pregnancy they may be affected by environment. The aim of present study to observed the effect of geography of two different states (Rajasthan and Punjab) on the planter dermatoglyphic patterns of cervix cancer patients. For statically analysis, 400 cases were selected from Rajasthan and Punjab, in each case planter pattern such as great toe and hallucal patterns were analyzed. These parameters compared with control of same state. For planter impression “Modified Cotterman Technique” was used. Qualitative and quantitative analysis has shown statically significant difference among two states. From present study we conclude that in geographical variation loop fibular pattern in hallucal area of right side (p < 0.001) and left side (p < 0.02) showed significant difference. Loop tibial pattern showed highly significant geographical variation in left great toe (p < 0.0001) and right hallucal area (p < 0.003).
