Abstract
Background: Studies have shown different results on the association between fingerprints, gender and blood groups in the different settings. There is one published article in Sudan. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of fingerprints characteristics and to assess if there is an association between fingerprints and gender or ABO blood groups and rhesus blood types in Sudan. Results: A total of 394 participants were enrolled in the study. Their age ranged between 19 to 24 years with a mean (standard deviation) of 21 (3) years. Of these 394, 114 (28.9%) and 280 (71.1%) participants were males and females, respectively. Of 394 participants, 111 (28.2%), 63 (15.9%), 13(3.3%), and 207(52.5%) had blood group A, blood group B, blood group AB and blood group O, respectively. While 373(94.7%) participants had rhesus positive blood, only 21 (5.3%) had rhesus negative blood. Of 394 fingerprints, 2476 (62.84%) were loop, 1278(32.44%) were arch and186 (4.72%) were whorls. Fingerprints were significantly between males and females and between the different blood groups and rhesus factors. Conclusion: loop, (62.84%) and arch (32.44%) were they common fingerprints. Fingerprints characteristics were significantly between males and females and between the different blood groups and Rhesus factor.
Highlights
Fingerprints are the impressions left by the epidermal ridges of human fingers
In addition to being unique for each individual, the morphological characteristics of fingerprints do not change during an individual's lifetime (Krishan, Kanchan, and Sharma 2011). it is known that no two people have the same fingerprints (GutiérrezRedomero et al 2013; Krishan, Kanchan, and Ngangom 2013; Krishan, Kanchan, and Sharma 2011)
This study was conducted to investigate the frequency of the fingerprints amongst Sudanese adults and to assess whether there is a relationship between fingerprints characteristics and gender or ABO" blood groups and "rhesus blood types in Sudan
Summary
Fingerprints are the impressions left by the epidermal ridges of human fingers. In addition to being unique for each individual, the morphological characteristics of fingerprints do not change during an individual's lifetime (Krishan, Kanchan, and Sharma 2011). it is known that no two people have the same fingerprints (GutiérrezRedomero et al 2013; Krishan, Kanchan, and Ngangom 2013; Krishan, Kanchan, and Sharma 2011). Several studies have investigated an association between fingerprints and gender and blood groups(Fayrouz, Farida, and Irshad 2012; Oktem et al 2015; Patil and Ingle 2021; KC et al 2018; Saranya Manikandan, Leka Devishamani and, Gowri Shankar Palanisamy[2], Priyadharsana Ponnusamy2 2017; Eboh 2013; Fadhel AL-Kalifa 2017). Some studies have examined fingerprints characterise, Integr J Med Sci.2022;9:1-3 gender, and blood groups in different settings (Fayrouz, Farida, and Irshad 2012; Oktem et al 2015; Patil and Ingle 2021; KC et al 2018; Saranya Manikandan, Leka Devishamani and, Gowri Shankar Palanisamy[2], Priyadharsana Ponnusamy2 2017; Eboh 2013; Fadhel ALKalifa 2017), there is one published article in Sudan (Osman, Mohamed, and Hamza 2018). Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of fingerprints characteristics and assess if there is an association between fingerprints and gender or ABO blood groups and rhesus blood types in Sudan.
