HI I am Emil,I have just found out about Simian Crease, it is very interesting because my dad has it on both hands. And I have it on my right hand. I always wondered what do they mean. Oddly enough reading this blog i can relate myself in many things. My whole life I have been a “black sheep” different then anyone else.
I would say intelligence dominates in my Simian Crease, I always been good with puzzles. People say that I am problem solver and I think outside the box. My downside is that it is hard for me to express my emotions, I have a short temper, little things irritate me.
I never met anyone with Simian Crease before, except my dad of course. I think talking to somebody with the same thing as I am would help both of us to understand ourselves. So if you would like to contact me ( to talk about some random stuff like : what is the purpose of life? ) here is my info: http://www.myspace.com/dmarkopolo

Thank you for this interesting site. I have one Simian Crease on both of my hands. My Mother had one Simian Crease and one other female relative also had one Simian Crease. It is a genetic trait, and found often in Asian and Native American communities. I have European and supposedly some Native American ancestry.

A Filipino male neighbor has one Simian Crease and recently said that his Uncles and his brothers also have one Simian Crease.

Not all people born with Down’s Syndrome, fragile X or other chromosomal disorders have Simian Creases, although some do.

A Simian Crease has not been considered to be a physical “marker” for Down’s Syndrome for at least ten years.

Within the population of “normal” people who have Simian Creases, there is no increased probability that one would have offspring with a chromosomal disorder.

My 21-month old granddaughter has a single palmar crease on both hands. She is perfectly normal, healthy, and happy. She has met all her developmental milestones earlier than the textbooks say she should. Her vocabulary is extensive and she seems very intelligent.
I was worried at first, but now I see she is as normal as can be.
Thank you for your website.

I have a deep simian crease on my right hand. My life has been tumultuous, intense and never peaceful. I’ve always felt out of place in this world, always feeling jaded by the state of the world as it is. I am blessed with very analytically deep thought and supernatural dexterity, I’ve got ADHD, bi-polar & anxiety problems. I’m never happy for more than a day. But i’ve gotten used to it. Being happy has become a bonus for me. For now, I just want to give as must as possible to the world and live as fully as possible, as I know that I do not belong to this world, and when my time & task is done, I will be able to find my place of solace.

I have simian creases on both hands. I think it makes me really unique especially when my friends were having hand related conversations (mostly in the pub you understand). My sister has a simian crease on one hand, as does my niece. When she was born the midwife said it was very odd that she had one but my sister explained our family history of it and they were very surprised to find a large outcrop of simian creases. All of us are perfectly healthy women. Its odd that it runs in the female gene of our family, or seems to, rather than the male side especially when men are more likely to have it than women. Maybe we are just unique and it has very little to do with genetics! Not feeling so special now though that there are loads of double creases here!

Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I have a palmers crease on my right hand only…..
I am actually Hispanic and I will be 21 on Nov. the 8th and besides being very attentive, I am very artistic….. I draw, I dance, and I write pieces that people are always facinated by when I read them…. I knew I wasn’t the only one who had this but I always did notice that I am more logical than the rest… I have observed a life of uneazyness but not dramatically…. I tend to hide a lot of emotions but I have the most self control in the bunch. No one in my family has this but am glad to know it doesn’t mean death! Lol like someone else had told me… Thank you for your blog, I feel relieved…. Wooooo. Check me out at myspace.com/rocnibeth for those who have it and maybe we can start an intelectual club ahahah but seriously, I would love to keep in touch with someone else who has this…

Well, I have always wondered what this single line across my right hand is. It is deep and very prominent with no other lines. My other hand is normal. I do have an affinity for animals and very intuitive. Animals always are drawn to me. I don’t know if this is a coincidence or just my personal traits. I really find it interesting though, and I am glad there are other peolpe with this.

Thanks for the website. Very comforting. I am a nurse and have a 24 month old daughter who has bilateral single palmar creases. I never noticed this or had any MD bring this to my attention until recently! Now I can perhaps worry a little less until we get further testing if needed. She has been a little shy about meeting all her milestones but is very animated and adorable. We are catching up though.

My son Adam is now 1 year old and he has single palmar transverse creases on both hands. He is a perfectly normal healthy boy and is doing everything that his two older brothers did as a baby. I call him the special one.

My 4.5 week old daughter has the single crease on both hands and this was only pointed out to me on Tuesday at her Doctors visit. I became very worried after the mention of several syndromes and I am glad to sa she doesn’t have any other characteristics of downs etc. I have been constantly worrying, but feel a little more reassured after reading this website. I guess she is just extra special
