Abstract

Idiopathic epilepsy is a tendancy to have seizure when there is no structural abnormality in brain. The cause could be genetic and number of genes have been mapped. These genetic factors are reflected as changes in dermatoglyphis pattern in patients of idiopathic epilepsy. Sophisticated investigations may not possible in all cases. The objective of this study is to investigate the relation between the dermatoglyphic patterns as an indication of genetic susceptibility in the idiopathic epilepsy. Dermatoglyphics has been well established as a diagnostic aid in a number of diseases having hereditary basis. Genetics plays an important role in idiopathis epilepsy, so a study was done on 135 cases of both sexes to find out variations in dermatoglyphysics of these patients. It was found that patients of idiopathic epilepsy have increase in radial loops & decrease in whorls. These genetic factors are reflected as changes in dermatoglyphic pattern in patients of idiopathic epilepsy.
