Blood grouping is conventionally done with invasive method by taking blood samples. The objective of this study is to determine blood group with uninvasive procedure by taking fingerprints of the participants and know the associations between their fingerprints and blood groups.
Seven hundred participants of both genders with no any age limitation from Manipal Teaching Hospital and Manipal College of Medical Sciences were randomly selected. The blood grouping was done by cross reacting blood sample with the antibodies. The fingerprints were taken with the help of stamp pad imprinting the finger ridges over A4 size white papers. The loop, whorl and arch patterns were studied.
O+ve blood group 224 (32%) was most prevalent among 700 participants. The loop pattern was highly distributed 3708 (53%) in all blood groups except in A-ve blood group with highest distribution of whorl 20 (40%). The mean comparisons of specific fingerprint in total and also in individual fingers with different ABO and ABO-Rh blood groups showed no any statistical association with P>0.05. However, the loop distribution in individual finger was highest in right middle finger (M) of B-ve blood group 5 (10%). The whorl distribution in individual finger was highest in right index (I), left thumb (T) and left ring (R) fingers of AB+ve blood group 20 (5.5% each). Similarly, the arch distribution was highest in right index fingers of A-ve blood group 3 (6%).
The mean comparison of different fingerprints with ABO and Rh blood groups showed no significant statistical association concluding fingerprints cannot be used for blood grouping.
传统上血型鉴定是通过采集血样的侵入性方法进行的。本研究的目的是通过采集参与者的指纹，采用非侵入性程序来确定血型，并了解他们的指纹与血型之间的关联。
从马尼帕尔教学医院和马尼帕尔医学科学学院随机选取了700名无年龄限制的男女参与者。通过使血样与抗体发生交叉反应来进行血型鉴定。借助印台将手指纹路印在A4尺寸的白纸上采集指纹。对箕形、斗形和弓形纹进行了研究。
在700名参与者中，O+血型224人（32%）最为常见。除A-血型中斗形纹分布最高（20例，40%）外，箕形纹在所有血型中分布最为广泛，为3708例（53%）。总体以及各手指特定指纹与不同ABO和ABO-Rh血型的均值比较显示，P>0.05，无任何统计学关联。然而，B-血型右手中指（M）的箕形纹分布在个体手指中最高，为5例（10%）。AB+血型右手食指（I）、左手拇指（T）和左手无名指（R）的斗形纹分布在个体手指中最高，均为20例（各5.5%）。同样，A-血型右手食指的弓形纹分布最高，为3例（6%）。
不同指纹与ABO和Rh血型的均值比较显示无显著统计学关联，得出指纹不能用于血型鉴定的结论。
