ABSTRACT

Finger prints are considered as the best tool of identification of person. Finger print evidence is by far the most effective and reliable evidence in the court of law. Two major aspects which prove the efficiency of finger prints are, the ridges formed during the fetal period do not change their course of alignment throughout the life of an individual until the skin is decomposed and the other one is two finger prints of either a same individual or two different individuals are never alike, they differ in their patterns and ridge characteristics. Due to this unique attribute of finger print, it is widely considered as conclusive evidence in the court of law.

We have carried out a study including 150 medical students of GMERS Medical College Junagadh, Gujarat, among which 75 were male and 75 were female subjects having different ABO blood groups belonging to different age groups. All the 10 fingerprint patterns were divided into Loops, Whorls and Arches. Results indicating that Loops are most commonly found fingerprint patterns while, Arches are least common. Loops dominated in all the Blood groups of both Rh+ve and Rh-ve negative individuals whereas, Whorls were found to be dominating in only O-ve blood group. The only correlation between gender and finger print patterns in this study is that, Loops and Arches were found in higher frequency in Females compared to Males and whorls were found to be high in males compared to females.

Key words: Association, fingerprints, blood groups, patterns.
