Evaluating the Palmar Fingerprint Pattern in ABO Blood Group System of Female Nursing Students
Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Dermatoglyphic analysis is one of the most authentic biometric technologies that provides authorized certification of identification. The present prospective study involves 114 female nursing students on an attempt to find out a correlation between the fingerprint pattern and ABO blood group system. It is a double-blind study wherein attentive supervision were done while examining the blood groups and collecting the fingerprints. The results unveil the fact that all the patterns are distinctive. The count of samples is far more in blood group ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘O’ as and when compared to that of ‘AB’. Based on the prevalence of palmar sequences, loops are found to be the most common pattern, followed by whorls and arches. A further in-depth study suggests that the incidence of loops was more in the thumb, middle and little finger whereas whorls are prevalent in the index finger of A, B, and O blood group of both the hands. Definitely, a close association is found between the palmar patterns and individual digits of the left and right hand with the blood groups.
