Funny thing about that line that goes straight across the palm. It is called the Simian Line and is also a trait with some other chromosomal anomalies including XYY, which my son has. His oldest son has it as well. My son has it on both hands but my grandson only has it on one. Hereâs a pic.
Very realistic Izzy!!

My oldest and youngest son both have simian lines. There arenât any anomalies that we know of, but itâs interesting. The pediatrician found it on my now 3yo old son when he was born. We didnât know about my oldest sons (now 20) until he showed us after learning about his younger brother. Everyone is so unique.
Thatâs interesting. Before I ever knew anything about that line, I knew a man that had it on one hand. He didnât have DS.
The pediatrician found it on my son when he was born as well. They sent him for genetic testing and found that he had an extra Y chromosome, which makes him a âsuper maleâ. It accounts for his extreme height - he is 6â4.5". His father is 5"9" and I am 5â2" so there is no hereditary height. Unfortunately, there are some issues that come with the XYY - its sort of like, whatever you expect out of a boy, expect twice as much out of an XYY. He was a challenge while growing up and has always been somewhat of a rebel and a free spirit, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. It took a while for him to learn to channel it but once he did, he has done okay. He is a great dad and a remarkable son.
Not everyone with the Simian Line has Downs. There are more than 80 things that are contributing factors. Tony Blair has it on both hands and Nikita Khrushchev and Hillary Clinton have it on one hand.

Izzy, I home school my oldest grandson and for art, I have been trying to get him interested in sculpting. Bought him some inexpensive polymer clay in a variety of colors and what do you think he sculpted firstâŚa snow fort out of the white clay with all of these tiny snowballs. He made it on a paper plate and we were going to bake it, until his little masterpiece was eaten by one or more of my three dachshunds. Just be on the look out for off colored #2âŚwe did figure out it was my youngest male (3 yrs old) who did the dirty deed and he has been just fine, as out vet said he would be.
So glad it wasnât Raspberryâs head alsoâŚsheâs amazing!
