Most likely diagnostic options for high hand index (ranked by 'weight' for the general population):
- ASSOCIATED PSYCHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS:
• masculinity [~10% | 1:7 | weight: 0,19]
• male firefighters [~30?% | 1:280 | weight: 0,014]
- ASSOCIATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS:
• trisomy 21 (= Down syndrome) [~50?% | 1:700 | weight: 0,01]
• achondroplasia (= dwarfism) [~99+?% | 1:25K | weight: 0,0005]
• trisomy 13 (= Patau syndrome [~55?% | 1:15K | weight: 0,0005]
[1st figure = prevalence hand sign in condition | 2nd
figure = prevalence condition in GP | 3rd figure =
estimated hand sign weight for condition relative
to GP (>0,5 = present in majority of GP)]

Quick summary:
Earth hand shape is more often seen in males; it is very common in Down syndrome, and nearly always seen in achondroplasia.

19 masculine men, 1 male firefighter, etc.]
