Fingerprint patterns vary, and the pattern is not the same from one individual to another individual. During its development, the patterns tendrils widely used for identity, the latest technology the pattern of tendrils or known by fingerprint applied to e-cards, as a forensic tool for police forces and until now growing research that examines relationships patterns of typical fingerprint with diseases that are genetic. Today many common hereditary disease associated with hyperkinetic disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or approximately 80% of the difference between children who have symptoms of ADHD in society will be determined by genetic factors. This study aims to determine the patterns of fingerprints and palms in children with ADHD and compared with normal children. The method used is descriptive method. The results showed children with ADHD have a type plain whorl 34.5%, more than the normal children (16%) and based on the statistics, there is a noticeable difference. The average number of vines fingertips with ADHD was higher than normal children (146.3> 136.5). Observations pattern on the palms showed interdigital 4 had the highest frequency (50%) and there is no real difference between ADHD children with normal children.

Fingerprints and palm plays an important role as the identity of a person, because each person has a different fingerprint. Fingerprint function can be used to diagnose hereditary diseases. According to the research that has developed, a group that has a hereditary disease has the characteristics of certain tendrils. Patterns of surface tendrils palms embryonic form since the age of 13 weeks and has not changed for life. The research method is a descriptive study by observing the pattern type on the fingers and palms on samples taken purposively. Study patterns of surface tendrils palms that have been done show a radial pattern of the loop has the greatest percentage is 40.5%. Percentage radial loop pattern highest on children of blind at 40.5%. Ulnar loop patterns by 39%, amounting to 20.5% whorl and arch pattern 0%. Frequency discovery spiraling pattern on the palm of the hand is and I4 = 55.5% = 60%.
