Abstract

Middle phalangeal hair distribution in Bosnia and Herzegovina's population has been investigated earlier (Hadžiselimović i Berberović, 1980; Ahmić, 2005), but present data for Tuzla canton are very poor. The purpose of this study was to analyze the distribution of recessive phenotypic feature 'non hairy phalanx' in seven local populations in Tuzla canton. The presence or absence of hair on middle phalanx of fourth digit in primary school students, 12 to 16 years of age, was investigated. There were 1657 subjects analyzed (857 boys and 800 girls). Frequency of recessive phenotypic feature 'non hairy phalangeal' is 18.21% in males and 23.75% in females. The difference in frequency between sexes is statistically significant (0.01>p>0.001).
