Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most common endocrine diseases in children. Genetic factors play a leading role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Early detection of genetic predisposition is crucial for pediatrics, endocrinology, and forensic medical examination. Dermatoglyphics, the study of fingerprint and palmar skin ridge patterns, is a reliable method for diagnosing hereditary diseases. This article outlines the scientific basis, clinical observations, and practical importance of diagnosing type 1 diabetes in children using dermatoglyphic methods.
