Study of Fingerprint Patterns & Blood Groups among Medical Students
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
Finger print (dactylography / dermatoglyphic) is considered as the best tool of identification. Fingerprint evidence is undoubtedly the most reliable and acceptable evidence till date in the court of law. Due to the immense potential of fingerprints as an effective method of identification an attempt has been made in thepresent work to analyze their correlation with gender and blood group of an individual. This prospective study was carried out over a period of 6 months among 300 medical students belonging to the agegroup of 18- 25 of College of Medicine &Sagore Dutta Medical College, West Bengal, India. Results show that each finger print is unique; loops are the most commonly occurring fingerprint pattern while arches are the least common. Males have a higher incidence of whorls and females have a higher incidence of loops. Loops are predominant in blood group A, B, AB andO in both Rh positive and Rh negative individuals except in O negative where whorls are more common.
