Palyzová et al. [24] | Czech Republic | Cases | Inhabitant Prague population | 13–27 | 172 | M = 116, F = 56 | Elevated BP detected accidently. Scrutinized to rule out secondary causes of Hypertension | Qualitative traits In hypertensives (both sexes): significantly lower ulnar loops and increase whorls. More frequent occurrence of distal triradius (mostly t1) and more missing axial triradius Quantitative traits In hypertensives (both sexes): higher TFRC and significantly high mean atd angles In hypertensives (females): lower a–b ridge count observed in right hand |
Control | Inhabitant Prague population | 15–65 | 240 | M = 130 | Healthy individuals. Not suffering from high BP. No family history of hypertension or its complications | |||

Polat MH et al. [25] | Istanbul Turkey | Cases |  | 19–35 | 21 | M = 15 | Diagnosed patients with hypertension secondary clinical, biochemical, and radiological causes of hypertension excluded | Qualitative traits In hypertensives (females): Significantly lower ulnar loops and higher whorl. In hypertensives (both sexes): Significantly lower occurrence of loops interdigital area in 111 and higher occurrence in H area. Significantly lower axial triradius t occurrence. Ending of palmer A line is more common in position 4 Quantitative traits In hypertensives (males): significantly higher TRC |
