Single crease in palm

[pinkandblue]

Hi

My DS was born with a single crease (called a simeon crease) in his left palm. I was looking on google and it says about babies with disabilities having the single crease. Just wondering if anyone elses babies have this and if your baby was born with no disabilities?

Thanks
Natalie

Hi, my little brother had this when he was born and he has downs sydrome. I have to honestly say i dont know alot about it though. I think if your baby had a disability you probably have other signs aswell. Maybe you should speak to your doctor about it.
Good luck, i hope you get the answers you want.

hi, i was just told by a peds doctor that my daughter has a crease on both her palms, she's 7 years old now, she's so bright, but when i ask her something i always have to repeat what i say. I think that she forgets sometimes. The other sign of down syndrome is dementia. We're waiting for an appointment to see a specialist. I'm really scared of what the result might be.

I did find this online.

Palmar creases develop while the baby is growing in the womb, usually by the 12th week of gestation (http://adam.about.com/encyclopedia/Gestational-age.htm).
A single palmar crease appears in approximately 1 out of 30 people. Males are twice as likely as females to have this condition. Some palmar creases indicate problems with development and are associated with disorders like Down syndrome.

A single palmar crease is often a normal finding. However, it may also be associated with:

My mum has a single Palmer crease, and is normal. My nephew has one, and is normal (IT specialist). My husband has one and is normal (well mostly lol). Our DS also has one, he has global dev delay. He has had genetic karyotyping done which showed no chromosomal abnormality.

Hi :wave:
I have a gorgeous boy who is now 15, an amazingly talented guitarist and in the top 10% of aus for maths who also has a simian crease. Absolutely nothing wrong with him, my mum also has it and is very intelligent, no issues. Sometimes it's just natures quirky way of making us different :) I love the palmistry interpretation of the line, that it is a joining of the heart and the head line so these people are very driven and intense;

The Simian Line gives the ability to focus on one thing, absolutely, to the exclusion of all else. These people generally achieve and accomplish far more than most, developing techniques and inventions that will last for generations

Of course you should rule out any concerns but it doesn't mean there is cause for concern.
