Features of dermatoglyphics of suicides (literature review)

Abstract

The analysis of the number of suicides, factors and conditions of its cause is complex and subjective, as it is associated with insufficient information about the causes of suicide. In this regard, it becomes especially important to search for markers that allow to identify persons prone to suicidal states, to carry out preventive measures with him in order to prevent suicides. The aim of this work was to study the latest publications on the study of genetic and phenotypic traits inherent in persons prone to suicidal acts. It has been established that to date there are no scientific studies that would reflect the relationship of phenotypic manifestations in suicides, in particular, anthroscopic, anthropometric and dermatoglyphic features of all phalanges of fingers and palms.
