Adermatoglyphia : People without Fingerprints

I came across this term when I was searching the web for a reason why my mom's fingerprint was unable to record during naturalization biometric and found this .

Adermatoglyphia ( also called as immigration delay disease  ) , is caused by a gene mutation ( SMARCAD1) . There are only 4 extended families with this condition, Recently it was seen in a Swiss family when a woman had trouble getting into US because she lacked finger prints. After looking at her and her 16 related individuals, gene mutation was discovered . Adermatoglypia is an  autosomal dominant disorder,  meaning only one parent needs to pass the mutation for the child to inherit this condition. In this condition there are no other defects .
