Abstract
Pediatric autoimmune disorders, including Type 1 diabetes mellitus, present challenges in timely diagnosis and management. Dermatoglyphics—the study of epidermal ridge patterns—provides a unique, non-invasive method to detect genetic predispositions and developmental anomalies linked to these conditions. This article explores the forensic and clinical value of dermatoglyphic features in children with autoimmune diseases, emphasizing their role in early detection and identity verification.
