“…Lip prints are not identical but similarities of lip prints between parents and children's were found accounting for the hereditary to play a major role. 9,10 This indicates that lip print patterns of biological babies shows a marked similarity with parents and can be used for comparison of lip prints within the family. These results are consistent with previous studies indicating significant level of similarities and genetic factor in biological babies.…”

Objective: To assess for any peculiar lip prints in relation to the lip shapes of individual, and determine the most common lip print type among the members of biological families. Study Design: Descriptive study. Setting: Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, Women Medical & Dental College, Abbottabad. Period: January 2018 to June 2018. Material & Methods: A total of 216 individuals (father, mother, both children’s), who underwent descriptive study of lip impression collection without any anesthesia or drug, were enrolled into the present study. Father, mother and two babies of each family were selected. Lip prints of Father, mother and both babies of each family were recorded. Each lip of 54 offspring’s was compared with the corresponding lip of his/her father mother and other baby. The segments of each lip of the offspring’s that matched/ resembled with either of father mother and biological babies were recorded. Results: Out of 54-total families, biological babies of 19(35.18%) families observed resemblance with father, whereas biological babies of 35(64.81%) families observed resemblance with mother. There was no definite identical lip print observed in any of the children. Furthermore, the prevalence of Type II lip prints was higher type present in males and in females. We observed that lip shape 7 was the most frequent lip shape type in most of individuals. Conclusion: Lip prints of study participants did not clearly match with each other, evenly distributed in both genders and distinctive similar to finger prints. The data did not show any specific association of the lip print type with lip shape. It is considered feasible to apply lip prints features in personal identification.

“…suggested that resemblance of lip print patterns among MZ twins and dizygotic twins revealed that MZ twins resembled more with each other than dizygotic twins and also found a strong evidence of its inheritance. [14] Fernandes et al . also investigated that MZ twins presented a relevant percentage of cheiloscopic agreements and also suggested influence hereditary relationships on inherited cheiloscopic features.…”

Background: Twins are similar in many ways owing to the genetical and environmental factors. However, still, there are certain things that are not similar among them, and this is the challenge for personal identification among the twins. Objectives: Our present study aimed to know and assess the similarities and differences present between the monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) twins in relation to lip prints, palm prints, fingerprints and blood group and to evaluate their heritability among parents and their offspring. Materials and Methods: The study group comprised 30 twins and their parents – 15 identical and 15 nonidentical twins. The age of twins ranged from 15 years to 40 years. Lip print, palm print, fingerprint and blood group were statistically analyzed. Results: All the data were subjected to statistical analysis. The identical twins showed more percentage of similarities in comparison to the non identical twins. The inheritance pattern was significant for twins in case of their lip prints while palm prints and finger prints showed no such significance in inheritance pattern whereas there was significant association seen in case of blood groups of identical twins and their parents. Conclusion: Lip prints, palm prints, fingerprints and blood groups are the important parameters in forensic science for individual identification. Many studies have been done till now in individual but very few studies done in twin population. To the best of knowledge, ours is the first study of its kind with multiple parameters and its heritability in twins. We have observed that heritability in twins with relation to lip print was statistically significant and all the parameters can be used independently to identify the twins.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Both the dactyloscopic and cheiloscopic morphological patterns are governed genetically and are unique to individual. 2,4,6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Despite the advent of advanced tech niques such as DNA fingerprinting, cheiloscopic and dactyloscopic analysis are most widely practiced in forensic medicine for identification and gender determination because of their simplicity, accuracy and cost effectiveness. 3,10 Analysis of lip print may not only have importance in forensic medicine but also as a genetic marker and a diagnostic tool.…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine gender specific correlation between lip print, finger print and blood group among 120 adult clinical cases in a tertiary hospital in Kathmandu. Lip prints were collected using lipstick and cellophane sheet. Thumb print was collected using commercially available ink pad and white paper and analyzed using hand held magnifying lens. Blood group was noted at the time of recording lip and thumb print. A statistically significant association of gender with fingerprint (p=<0.001) and lip print (p=0.001) was found. A strong co-existing relation have been found between gender and the loop fingerprint-lip print type I’- blood group O and arch fingerprint–lip print type I’– blood group ‘O’.
