ASSOCIATION BETWEEN FINGERPRINT PATTERNS AND BLOOD GROUPS AMONG LIBYAN STUDENTS

Abstract

This study explores the potential association between fingerprint patterns and blood groups among Libyan students. Fingerprint patterns are unique to each individual and have been extensively studied in forensic and biometric applications. Blood group phenotypes, such as ABO and Rh types, are well-established genetic markers that vary among individuals and populations. The study involves a sample of Libyan students from [name of university/school], who provided both fingerprint impressions and blood samples for analysis. The fingerprint patterns were classified into arches, loops, and whorls, while blood group phenotyping was performed using standard serological methods. Data analysis aims to investigate any potential relationship between specific fingerprint patterns and blood group types. The findings may contribute to understanding genetic variations and forensic applications of fingerprint patterns and blood group phenotypes in the Libyan student population.
