Abstract The amount of asymmetry in various digital and palmar characters found in healthy and pathological individuals (presenting Cooley's anemia, cleft lip, cleft palate and breast cancer) was examined. Males with cleft palate presented higher asymmetry index values than did healthy males. No great differences were found in the other pathologies, while different behaviour in the two sexes was noted.
