The dermatoglyphic analysis of a group of Italiam patients with Cooley's anemia and Cooley's trait shows Cooley's anemia patients to undergo a significant increase of loops on fingers and a corresponding decrease of whorls. The total loops frequency correlates negatively with the ridge distribution per loop and the total ridge count is significantly decreased. The atd angles are larger. Minor changes in the distribution of patterns in the thenar and hypothenar areas are also observed. In the Cooley's trait patients, loops on fingers are more frequent than in controls, but no difference with Cooley's anemia series is observed. The above findings suggest that the gene(s) controlling loops formation in linkage disequilibrium with thalassemia mutant may have been favourably selected on the "thalassemia chromosome" in the malaria environment.
