Introduction: Dermatoglyphic is a science that study the lines in the skin of the palms and fingertips properly. In some studies, the relationship between dermatoglyphic patterns with some diseases has been proven Arthritis Rheumatoid is a chronic inflammatory disease with autoimmune pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of dermatoglyphics in people with rheumatoid arthritis compared to the control group.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 50 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 50 people in the control group living in Mashhad. The fingerprint was recorded by the scanner.  The distribution of the frequency of fingerprint patterns, including Arch, Loop and Whorl, along with the counting of fingerprint lines in both groups was investigated. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using ANOVA and X2 tests.
Results: According to the results, the maximum frequency of dermatoglyphic patterns in both hands was related to the ulnar loop type. After that, in the patient group, simple Whorl patterns and double Whorl patterns and in the healthy group, double Whorl patterns and simple Whorl patterns were the most frequent. Between the average finger ridge count in the right hand of healthy people with the right hand of patient’s people and the left hand of healthy people with the left hand of patient’s people showed a significant difference in the error level of 0.05.
Conclusions: It seems that this difference can be used as a biological diagnostic marker to screen people prone to rheumatoid arthritis. This information in prognosis of psychological, medical and therapeutic plans, issues related to anthropology and social sciences can also be useful.
