Abstract
Identification or identity helps us to determine the individuality of person, living or dead. Establishing the identity is of immense importance in forensic medicine. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between finger print, gender, and blood group. Methods: A total of 100 subjects participated in the study (M=F) in the age range of 18 to 25 years. The sample was collected by simple random sampling. The finger print was analyzed by using powerful magnifying hand lens, ink pad and white chart paper. Results: The prevalence of blood groups as observed in our study for A, B, AB and O groups were 25, 33, 39, 3 for males and 23, 35, 39, 3 for females respectively. The prevalence of thumbprint amongst the gender was highest for Loops and least for arches. Conclusion: Our study reiterates that if fingerprint patterns and blood groups are studied with a larger sample size and with a multi-centric study, it may help in prediction of blood groups based on fingerprint pattern available.
