"Investigating Correlations in the Inheritance of Fingerprints and Blood Groups of Indian Families, Residing in Gurgaon " International Journal of Biotech Trends and Technology vol. 14, no. 3, pp. 1-6, 2024. Crossref, https://doi.org/10.14445/22490183/IJBTT-V14I3P101
Abstract
A fingerprint is a unique pattern of valleys and ridges on an individual’s finger. Given its ability to verify or refute identity, fingerprint evidence can be extremely valuable in criminal investigations. The study’s principal objective was to examine fingerprint inheritance in Indian families living in Gurgaon and investigate whether there may be a correlation between fingerprint inheritance and blood groups. A number of 40 offspring and their respective parents (a total of 120 individuals) were randomly chosen from families residing in Gurgaon. A pre-designed form outlining the process for collecting thumb impressions and blood types was created and disseminated. It had the necessary area for sample collection. Following collection, the prints were categorized using Henry’s approach, which divides fingerprints into three categories: loops, whorls, and arches. Blood Group O, the recessive blood type, was observed to have a higher prevalence of Arches, which may be a recessive feature. Loops and whorls were more prevalent in co-dominant blood types A, and B. Higher inheritance of fingerprints was observed between father to daughter and mother to daughter compared to father to son and Mother to son.
