Adermatoglyphia is a rare medical condition which causes a person to have no fingerprints. There are only four known extended families worldwide which are affected by this condition.Recently the description of a case from Switzerland with lacking fingerprints as an isolated finding was published.

Adermatoglyphia is a rare medical condition which causes a person to have no fingerprints. There are only four known extended families worldwide which are affected by this condition.Recently the description of a case from Switzerland with lacking fingerprints as an isolated finding was published. The Phenotype was mapped to Chromosome 4q22. In the splice-site of an 3' exon of the Gene for SMARCAD1-Helicase a pointmutation was detected. It results in a shortened form of the skin-specific Protein. The heterozygous mode of mutation suggests an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance.There are other conditions that cause a lack of fingerprints, but unlike them, adermatoglyphia has no other side effects. Mutations in Helicases are in involved in other rare genetic diseases, for instance Werner syndrome.
