Fiftyeight persons were involved in this research, which consisted of 33 mental retardation patients and 25 non-retarded persons in SLB YPAC Palembang. Analysis was done by analyzing configuration of dermatoglyphic patterns, TTC, TRC, and ATD angle. This research resulted in the finding of major dermatoglyphic pattern found in mental retardation patients which was Loop pattern. There was a significant difference Arch patterns with the value of p = 0.03. No difference found in Triradius Ridge Count (TRC), Total Triradius Count (TTC), and right ATD angle with the value of P = 0.451. But there was a difference found in left ATD angle with the value of P = 0.005.
