| Summary: | Background: The study of lip-print pattern (cheiloscopy) is a
scientific method for personal identification and plays a major role
in forensic and criminal investigations.
Objective: To compare the lip print patterns in Kerala and
Maharashtra population and correlate between ABO blood
groups.
Materials and Methods: Two hundred subjects, 100 from
Maharashtra and 100 from Kerala were considered for the study.
Lip prints were recorded, analyzed according to Tsuchihashi
classification. The lip print patterns were compared in the two
populations, correlated in ABO blood groups. The data obtained
was statistically analyzed with SPSS software using chi-square
test.
Results: In our study, predominant lip print pattern observed in
Kerala population was type IV (53%) and Maharashtra population
was type II (42%). The difference between the two population was
statistically significant (p<0.001). Subjects with A+ and O- blood
groups had type II lip print predominance. Subjects with B+, AB+
and O+ blood groups had type IV predominance. The lip print
patterns do not show any correlation in ABO blood groups.
Conclusion: Lip prints are unique to each individual and are
different even in two persons. Lip print patterns were different in
the two sub populations studied, and they showed no correlation
in ABO blood groups. |
