Finger length ratio has been proposed as a putative marker for prenatal hormone exposure, as well as the action of HOX, AR, and a variant of the @entity33338 genes. These genes have been recently connected to @entity105 and digit ratio could help to identify @entity1 with this predisposition. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible correlations between digit ratio, @entity957 ( @entity957 )-the most common @entity5 -and @entity75 ( @entity75 ) in @entity286 -consuming males, the main risk group for this disease. METHODS: Digital images of the right hands of @entity1 diagnosed with @entity957 (n = 25), @entity75 (n = 25), and age-matched controls (n = 25) were obtained. Fingers were measured using Adobe Photoshop and the mean ratios between the 2nd and 4th digits were compared. Data were analyzed by ANOVA (a = 0.05). RESULTS: Risk factors ( @entity167 and @entity286 consumption, familial history) were similar between the three study groups. Males in the @entity957 group presented significantly higher digit ratio (P = 0.03) in comparison with males with @entity75 and individuals without @entity75 . CONCLUSIONS: According to the results, males with the higher digit ratio seem to be more prone to undergo malignization of lesions in the oral cavity. Similar deleterious habits for the three groups allows us to infer that digit ratio could add to the research of etiological factors and be a putative marker for the screening of @entity1 ' susceptibility to develop @entity957 .
