is wondering if there are any parents with a child with a simian line on their hands meaning just the 1 line instead of two at top also called simian crease, proximal transverse palmar crease or single palmar crease?

My daughter is 18 and has a a crease in both hands. My husband (Daughters dad) also has it but only in one hand. I am very curious scientific wise why they have this. All I keep reading is palmist point of view.
I know my daughter is smart and has an amazing personality. But is it the crease medically? I have a son without the crease and he is smart also with an amazing personality. I just want to know why they have this?

Hi ( might be abit late )

I'm 17 and i have double full simian creases, im the only one in my family that has them
and i have an IQ of 168 and currently getting my Master of Science (Civil Engineering)

They shouldn't scare parents by saying its an indicator of mental dissorders, there are alot of people with simian creases that are perfectly healthy mentally wise atleast, have to say i have never met someone else with double simian creases/lines. Just wanted to make sure you knew not everyone with these lines have dissabilities.

My son is two and he has a transverse palmar crease on the left hand. The doctor at the hospital noticed it when he was born and said that it is rare in children who do not have a type of syndrome, but assured me that it doesn't always indicate there is a problem. If you are worried about it though, I don't think it would hurt to speak to your doctor.

I have identical twin girls and one has a single crease line in her right hand. She was diagnosed with a double urinary collection system in one kidney. Otherwise she's completely normal. Maybe the line has something to do with it. Maybe it's a sign.

My daughter who is 35 has a palmers crease, her son has one and her daughter 3 months old has one on each hand. I don't think that doctors should jump the gun and say that a baby or child should be labeled with certain traits i believe they should moniter a growth and learning chart to see any developments instead of scaring parents. Just saying,

Just wanted to say hi to Ursula. I too have a beautiful and "normal" baby son who just happens to have Down Syndrome and he does have the palmar crease. Not all babies with ds have it and alot of ppl with out ds have it too.

Thanks Laurie, I wasn't sure it it meant we had a hereditary chromosome issue x

Hey Dee



I wouldn't of thought so my dear. If the son you have now seems well & is perceived as normal, then you should have no cause for concern.



My son was also slow on the up take but he is quite normal, he has a few behavioral problems but then he is in puberty. I think it's just a lad thing, you know how men like to do as little as possible.. lol ;)



Do bear in mind however your own age, health & lifestyle, as this will impact greatly on future conceptions.



Hope this helped to appease your thoughts a little. :) x

My son has it on both hands. He is 3. He was slow to thrive at birth but now at 3 seems to have caught up. If I have another baby is it likely to have Downs or a chromosome problem.

Hi all.. this is fascinating me as I am a 36 year old single mum of four. I have three girls & one son. My son was born with a single Palmer crease on one hand but as he has grown the head & heart lines have connected on the other hand also. I to have a single Palmer crease across both of my palms. I am really glad that another woman has it to. I thought I might be the only one with it on both hands. It is more common in boys than girls.



Only 10% of the population has it on one hand, 5% has it on both hands. It is found mostly in boys & among Asians and Native Americans.



Palmistry says:

If our head & heart lines are joined, this means we think with our hearts.

Science says it's one of two things:

1) It could be down to a defective chromosome, implying some form of syndrome.

2) We are descendants of the simians, the "higher primates" familiar to most people: the Old World monkeys and apes, including humans.

Religion is telling me that we are in fact the direct descendants of Mary & Jesus:

That's all I can light on this subject for now, hope you find it of some use..!



Love & Peace.. Lou xx ;)

So I know I am late in this conversation.. we just found out yesterday that my son (3yo) has a singel Palmar Crease too. we were told it could contribute to the fact that he was diagnose on the Autism Spectrum. they are running a full chromosome panel and a microarray. hopefully we will know if they correlate soon.

No it's not a scare factor .. it's seen across the board in Downs and in so-called 'normal' communities. The difference is that the percentage of Downs people that have it is higher than the percentage of 'normal' people that have it. Having it doesn't mean you have Downs Syndrome nor does NOT having it exclude you from having Downs .. it's just one of many signposts that MAY indicate you have a genetic condition SUCH AS Downs. That is why you shouldn't put much stock into whether or not your child has a simian crease if there are no other signs or symptoms of concern.

yeh i was told the one line on the feet could be a sign of downs syndrome, but my son doesnt have that.  neither do i, so i wonder how they work these theories out.  or is it just another one of those scare factors???

Laura - posted on 03/27/2009

I havent really had any concerns i know it is related to downs syndrome but know my son hasnt got downs and there is no family history of that at all. I was a little worried bout the things i read relating to simian line but i know my son hasnt anything wrong so far so just getting on with things.No1 i knows children have it so it is nice to hear from parents whose children do.xxx

The simian crease is one of the listed signs in Down Syndrome which would imply there's some genetic factor at play. My eldest daughter has a simian crease on one hand and the other hand is 'normal'. When I asked the doctor about it he assured me that many 'normal' people also have it, that it's just more prevalent in certain 'communities' like Down Syndrome. Since then my daughter has finally been diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder (she is now 17 and was diagnosed at 14 after years of battling doctors). I since have had a daughter with Down Syndrome. She's asleep now so I can't go check but I've never laid much stock in the simian crease as a cause for concern on its own but only as 'another marker' to support an issue of concern. I encourage you to take the same stance. If that is the only 'symptom of concern' then don't fret it, if there are other concerns then follow up on them. On it's own it means nothing, it's only WITH other symptoms that it MAY point to a possible genetic diagnosis.

Not alot really my son has the 1 simian line on one of his hands i was told when he was 2days old the midwife said nothin to worry bout. I have since seen peadtrician as my son has hole in his heart and the paedtrician says that having the one line can relate to heart problems. I have read up about it on the internet and read on sights that people with these lines tend to lead their lives differently which scared me a bit. Aparantly only 4% of caucasian people have these and tony blair actually has them on both hands.

Quoting Laura:

I am a 31 year old mum with 6 kids and I have the lines on my hands that you are talking about.  None of my children have them, but my first born has them on his feet.  The nurses were concerned when they saw them on his feet, but I still have no answers as to why and he is nearly 12.  What have you been told about it???
