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 of a person from Switzerland lacking fingerprints as an isolated finding was published. The phenotype was mapped to chromosome 4q22. In the splice-site of a 3′ exon of the gene for SMARCAD1-helicase a point mutation was detected.
