Abstract

The aim of this study was to establish a possible relationship between thumb print pattern and ABO blood group distribution. The study involves two hundred and nine-two volunteers comprising 159 females and 133 males. The blood group and fingerprint patterns were determined using standard techniques. Results obtained revealed that gender was not significantly related with ABO blood group patterns. Gender comparisons with fingerprint pattern also showed no significant relationship. Comparisons between ABO blood group pattern and thumb print pattern showed no significant relationship P > 0.05. The above finding indicated that these characteristics were independent of each other and may be used independently in the process of identification.
