Are Fingerprint Patterns Inherited Genetically?

This study explores the inheritance of fingerprint patterns among siblings, revealing a strong genetic component. Matched patterns in 70% of sibling pairs compared to 33% in random pairs. Sibling analysis highlights the hereditary nature of fingerprint patterns.

  1. Are Fingerprint Patterns Inherited Genetically? By Melody Nordberg

  2. Recognizing the Fingerprints seen in This Study Only four of eight categories were seen on the right thumbs of participants

  3. Plain Arch – Gentle, mound-like rise

  4. Ulnar loop – Loop Entering from the Right

  5. Plain Whorl – Circular Pattern

  6. Double loop whorl – “S” shaped

  7. Note: Images become easier to see when they are blown up. Some Classifications in the Slideshow may not be obvious at the current Magnitude Ulnar Loop

  8. Classifying and Comparing Sibling Fingerprint Patterns

  9. Sibling Group 1 Plain Arch (1A) Plain Arch (1B) MATCH!

  10. Sibling Group 1 (Continued) Plain Arch (1A) Ulnar Loop (1C) NO MATCH!

  11. Sibling Group 1 (Continued) Plain Arch (1B) Ulnar Loop (1C) NO MATCH!

  12. Sibling Group 3 Plain Whorl (3A) Ulnar Loop (3B) NO MATCH!

  13. Sibling Group 3 (Continued) Plain Whorl (3A) Ulnar Loop (3C) NO MATCH!

  26. Results

  27. The Patterns Seen in Participants:

  28. 70% of Sibling Pairs Matched!

  29. Only 33% matched when randomly paired!

  30. Fingerprint Patterns are inherited Genetically!
