Juvenile autoimmune disorders, including Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), pose significant challenges in early diagnosis and management. Dermatoglyphics, the study of fingerprint and palm patterns, provides a non-invasive and reliable method to investigate genetic predispositions and developmental anomalies associated with these diseases. This paper explores the forensic diagnostic potential of dermatoglyphic characteristics in children affected by various autoimmune conditions, emphasizing their application in early detection, risk assessment, and medico-legal identification.
