Fingerprints from 61 pairs of male monozygotic twins (MZ), 47 pairs of female MZ, 40 pairs of same-sex male dizygotic twins (DZ), 44 pairs of same-sex female DZ, 4 pairs of opposite-sex DZ, and 28 brothers and 31 sisters of those twins are used for the study of fingerprint similarities. Similarities of fingerprint pattern, ridge count, and minutiae are evaluated for two population groups genetically related to each other in different degrees. It is concluded that fingerprint similarities, including pattern, ridge count, and possibly minutiae, between MZ individuals are significantly higher than those between other population groups, including DZ twins.
来自61对男性同卵双胞胎（MZ）、47对女性同卵双胞胎、40对同性异卵双胞胎（DZ）、44对同性女性异卵双胞胎、4对异性异卵双胞胎以及这些双胞胎的28名兄弟和31名姐妹的指纹被用于指纹相似性研究。对两个在不同程度上彼此有遗传关系的人群组的指纹图案、嵴数和细节特征的相似性进行了评估。得出的结论是，同卵双胞胎个体之间的指纹相似性，包括图案、嵴数以及可能的细节特征，显著高于其他人群组之间的相似性，包括异卵双胞胎。
