Abstract
Mental Retardation (MR) is a life long human disability characterized by impairment of cognitive and adaptive skills. The degree of impairment is divided into mild (IQ 50-70), moderate (IQ 35-50), severe (IQ 20-35) and & IQ 65 angle variation was observed. Patients who had delayed development, tri radius’t’ was shifted distally and atd angle was increased. Unusual dermatoglyphics in patients with various defects in chromosomes as well as other disorders have been reported in earlier studies. Appropriate evaluation of the various dermatoglyphic features in mentally retarded patients shall lead to acceptance as a diagnostic tool and serving in the study of human developmental biology.
