Abstract
Fingerprints are the most important and reliable evidence of forensic investigation as the patterns are genotypically determined and remain the same throughout life. Therefore, the aim of this research is to help in short listing the suspect and increase the accuracy in establishing the identity of one. This prospective study is conducted on 246 subjects (123 males and 123 females) of Undergraduate students of Management and Science University Shah Alam, Malaysia. Fingerprint patterns are classified under whorls, loops and arches. The gender, fingerprints patterns and the type of ABO blood group was recorded. Results show that the most commonly found blood group in female and male is 0 positive. Arches have the highest frequency associated with 0 positive blood group with 15.47% followed by loops (13.82%) and whorls (13.83%). Loops are more predominant in males with 16.20% compared to arches (14.63%) and whorls (13.00%). The least frequency of blood groups found in women is 0 negative with loops fingerprints. The least dominant association in males is A negative with loops fingerprints (0.8%). This study concludes that the relation of distribution between the fingerprints towards the gender and ABO blood group classification can be used independently to identify an individual.
