People have no fingerprints

Israeli and Swiss scientists have found that the cause of some people born without fingerprints is a rare genetic mutation.

Fingerless disease is also nicknamed 'immigration delay disease' , because some countries require fingerprints when entering the country.

Some people are born without fingerprints

By analyzing the genetic code of 16 members in a 9-born Swiss family without fingerprints, researchers from Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel found mutations in SMARCAD1 in Skin causes this phenomenon. Very few functions of the SMARCAD1 gene are associated with different forms of skin.

In some people due to mutations in this rare gene type and a shorter version of SMARCAD1 gene causes fingerprint disorder.

Professor Eli Sprecher, who led the research, said: 'This finding shows that the specific version of SMARCAD1 will regulate the development of fingerprints . The length of this gene will regulate the activity of genes. other'.

The discovery, which may also help learn more about other, not only skin effects, of SMARCAD1, Professor Eli Sprecher added.
