Objectives: The analysis and evaluation of the craniofacial profile structure and dermatoglyphic structures are a research subject particularly significant for the scientific areas of anatomy, anthropology, genetics, and criminology. Relevant studies show that both the craniofacial structure and dermatoglyphic structures carry genetic features and show their details. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between palm flexion line types in individuals and craniofacial morphologic structure. The link between these 2 significant genetic characteristics has been studied.
