[Diagnostic problems in mosaic-Downs-syndrome (author's transl)].

In 14 cytogenetically diagnosed patients with mosaic Down's syndrome a dermatoglyphic examination was performed. A highly significant correlation between the percentage of trisomic cells and the grade of mongoloid stigmata in the dermatoglyphic pattern was observed. In 11 of the 14 patients a second chromosome analysis could be done after different periods. In several cases a very distinct shifting between the normal and the trisomic cell line occurred. In three patients the normal cell line disappeared and in one other patient the trisomic cell line was lost. The diagnostic problems are pointed out which occur by the total loss of trisomic cell lines. The value of dermatoglyphic examinations in such cases is discussed.

[Anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia--Identification of heterocygote (carrier) females (author's transl)].

We report on a newborn male infant suffering from anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. This x-linked recesive disorder has a high letality during the first year of life. Survivors are psychologically grossly impaired. This necessitates identification of carrier females. Characteristics of heterocygotes (e.g. palmar ridge flattening, paucety of pores, dermoglyphic pattern) are described. In pregnancy amniocentesis and chromosome analysis for sex determination are to be recommended.

Genetic differentiation among four groups of fishermen of the eastern coast, India.

The four endogamous groups of fishermen living around the city of Puri, located on the eastern coast of India, were studied for blood groups, red cell enzymes and serum proteins (11 loci). Only 1.3% of the total diversity among the groups studied is due to differences between them (GST = 0.013). The genetic distances between populations were estimated using Edwards and Cavalli-Sforza's method. The pattern of genetic distance reflects the geographical distribution of these groups. In general, these observations support the patterns of variation based on anthropometric and dermatoglyphic variables.

Genetic differentiation of Jordanian Moslems and Christians.

Two samples representing the Moslem and Christian communities of Jordan were examined for the polymorphic serum proteins AHSG, BF, FXIIIB, GC, HP, PI, PLG, and TF. The results revealed similar allele distributions, and low interpopulation differentiation (GST = 0.0004) between the two communities. The low HP*1S (< 0.12) allele frequencies and the comparatively high PLG*B (> 0.40) and BF*S.07 (approximately equal to 0.05) frequencies are characteristic of the populations of this region.
