SUMMARY Dermatoglyphics of 81 females with Turner's syndrome are analysed with regard to the cytogenetic findings and they are compared with the data from normal relatives of both sex. The quantitative traits (total ridge count, a-b ridge count, atd angle) are shifted to an elevation of the means. Centric patterns on the hypothenar area as well as a longitudinal alignment of the main lines and transverse creases are found rather frequently. Previous studies are confirmed.
