Introduction: A Fingerprint pattern are geno typically determined and remains unchanged from birth till death which is one of the oldest methods oldest, reliable and generally used biometric technologies and is considered one of the best, cheapest and legitimate proofs of identification. The aim of the present study was to analyze association between blood group, fingerprint and gender among young adults.
Methods: After the permission from Institutional Ethics Committee this cross-sectional study was carried out 132 Nepalese Medical students of age group of 20-25 years of KIST Medical College and Teaching Hospital participated in the study. The fingerprint patterns were recognized based on the appearance of ridge lines to determine loops, whorls, mixed or composite and arches. Blood groups were confirmed on the basis of presence or absence of agglutination as per the standard protocol
Results: Total number of loops pattern was highest frequency in both genders 60% in right thumb and 62.5% in left thumb followed by whorls 50% in right thumb and 45% on left thumb while arches and composite are least. Blood group A was most common with loop fingerprint followed by blood groups B and O. The group AB has the least frequency in all the fingerprint patterns.
Conclusion: The present study confirms that loop was the most common fingerprint pattern while arch and composite was the least common. This study does not show any association between distribution of fingerprint patterns, blood group and gender.
