Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Dermatoglyphics refers to the branch of science in the study of the pattern of skin ridges present on the fingers, palm and the soles of human. In 1788 JC Mayer was the first to write out basic tents of finger print analysis. Importance of finger print in modern world is not restricted to the field of forensic and criminals application only. Dermatoglyphicsis a relatively new science, which involves the study of fine patterned dermal ridges on digits, palms and soles. Cummins and Midlo in 1926 coined the term dermatoglyphics (derma-skin; glyphiccarvings), for the scientific study of ridges. Fingerprints are impression of pattern formed by papillary or epidermal ridges and the pattern of fingers do not change during life time or till death of the individual. Due to its effectiveness particularly in forensic medicine, the study of finger print pattern was carried out in relation between gender and blood group. Material and Methods: In the present study 250 first year MBBS students were participated, out of which 125 were males and 125 were females in the department of anatomy, BRD Medical College Gorakhpur. Their blood groups were recorded. The finger prints of both the hands were taken on A4 size white paper using blue stamp pad. Fingerprints pattern were observed by powerful magnifying lens and recorded. Results: In our study results shows loops are the most common pattern while arches are the least common. Loops occur more frequently in females while male have higher incidence of whorl. Loop is predominantly found in blood group B while fingerprint pattern whorl is predominantly found in blood group O. Conclusion: According to our study we may conclude that prediction of gender and blood group of a person may be possible with the study of fingerprints methods which may help in forensic medicine to identify victims and diseases.
