To observe the association of lip prints and fingerprint patterns with gender and pattern predominance in the group of subjects with blood groups contrasting ABO and Rh. The study included 470 participants. Lip prints and fingerprints were recorded using lipstick and ink (stamp pad), respectively, on white bond paper. Cellophane tape was employed to transfer the lip print from the lips to bond paper. Determination of blood group was done by ABO typing using anti-A & anti-B sera. A statistically notable association was seen between gender and blood group type (p-value <.05). Type I lip print design, whorl pattern of fingerprints and B+ blood group were most commonly observed in males and females. Type I lip print pattern was most commonly found in the A+ blood group and all A- blood groups. The arch pattern was seen predominantly with type IV, whorl with type I and loop with type III. Loop pattern was more common in A+(37.3%), B- (66.7%) & O+(42.7%) while whorl pattern was common in A-(50%), B+(50.5%), AB+(53.2%) & O-(66.7%) (p value<.05). Definite association was observed between fingerprint, blood group and sex of an individual. These can be used as essential adjuncts in forensic science and mass catastrophes. And where fingerprint evaluation is impossible, then lip print and blood group can be used as a second identification line.
