Creases on your hand

[Shaun.P]

I recently found out that it is relatively rare to have a single transverse palmar crease present in either (or both) hands.

I have one crease on my right hand, but two on the left. Apparently 10% of the population have a single crease on one hand and 5% have a single crease on both hands.

This "condition" has links with a lot of genetic conditions:

The presence of a single transverse palmar crease can be, but is not always, a symptom associated with abnormal medical conditions, such as fetal alcohol syndrome, or with genetic chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome (chromosome 21), cri du chat syndrome (chromosome 5), Klinefelter syndrome, Noonan syndrome (chromosome 12), Patau syndrome (chromosome 13), Edward's syndrome (chromosome 18), and Aarskog-Scott syndrome (X-linked recessive). A unilateral single palmar crease was also reported in a case of chromosome 9 mutation causing multiple basal cell nevus syndrome and Robinow/brachydactyly 1 syndrome .[5] It is also sometimes found on the hand of the affected side of patients with Poland Syndrome and craniosynostosis.

Are you affected?

I have 3 creases on either hand and they are mirror images of each other.

Me too. Why isn't this option included in the poll?

From this graph:


I have strong heart, head and life creases with faint fate line and VERY FAINT sun line.

Here we are, living in the future, talking about what our hands look like instead of taking a picture of them with our fancy internet connected smartphones.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Let me show you how it's done...

...yes. I know. My clothes are hanging out of my bottom dresser drawer. That's where kitty sleeps.
