Abstract

Background: Finger prints are considered as the best tool of identification. Digital dermatoglyphic has been found useful in forensic medicine and identification purpose. It is useful in medical diagnosis of genetically inherited diseases and in detection of crimes. Material & Method: The present study was carried out to understand the genetic relationship if any, among different blood groups using classical dermatoglyphic marker in 292 subjects. Finger print patterns were collected on a white paper using black endorsing ink. Study was done by counting and classifying their ridge pattern, configuration of arches, loops and whorls. The ridges were counted and patterns were identified using glass hand lens. Results: Majority of subjects were 33.90% in the study of blood group of O, 30.82% of blood group B, 23.63% of blood group A and 11.64% of blood group AB. The general distribution of pattern of finger print showed high frequency of loops 53.56% whereas whorls were moderate 39.48% and arches were least 6.95% in frequency, was significant (p<0.01) in all blood groups. Conclusion: The study suggests that there is an association between finger print pattern and blood groups.

Key words: Finger print, dermatoglyphic, ABO blood group, identification.
