Adermatoglyphia is a very rare autosomal-dominant condition that is genetically inherited and causes an individual to be born without conventional ridge detail on either their palmar or plantar surfaces (the fingers and palms of the hands and the toes and the soles of the feet). While adermatoglyphia has been the focus of medical and genetic research, no previous research has been conducted with regard to the forensic recovery and identification of marks from an adermatoglyphic individual. By observation of ridge detail donated by an adermatoglyphic subject, the study uses different methods in order to capture fingermarks (methods include: inked capture, livescan (biometric) capture, cyanoacrylate fuming, ninhydrin enhancement, and physical developer). Unusually, the purpose of this paper ends up presenting a number of examples of an absence of evidence; unsuccessful attempts made to capture and enhance fingerprint ridge detail. This is determined over a range of standard means including "live" donations by the adermatoglyphic subject onto the Livescan system, and enhancements of latent donations. The subject shows to leave either insubstantial fingermarks with no detail, or no mark whatsoever.
无指纹症是一种非常罕见的常染色体显性遗传疾病，会导致个体的手掌或足底表面（手的手指和手掌以及脚的脚趾和脚底）没有常规的脊纹细节。虽然无指纹症一直是医学和遗传学研究的焦点，但以前从未进行过关于从无指纹个体中法医恢复和识别痕迹的研究。通过观察无指纹个体捐献的脊纹细节，该研究使用不同的方法来捕捉指纹（方法包括：墨水采集、活体扫描（生物特征）采集、氰基丙烯酸酯熏显、茚三酮增强和物理显影）。不同寻常的是，本文的目的最终呈现了一些证据缺失的例子；试图捕捉和增强指纹脊纹细节的不成功尝试。这是通过一系列标准手段确定的，包括无指纹个体在 Livescan 系统上的“实时”捐献，以及对潜在捐献的增强。该个体要么留下没有细节的不明显指纹，要么根本没有留下指纹。
