“…The frequency distribution of print pattern in subjects recruited is shown in Table 2 where the loop was 21 (40.4%), followed by whorl at 26.9% ( 14) and the least was a compound pattern with 13.5% (7). The distribution of print patterns by gender is represented in Table 3.…”

“…Dermatoglyphics is the study of the configuration of epidermal ridges of the volar surfaces of the fingers, toes, palms and soles of humans and other mammals 4,5 . These configurations or peculiar skin features found in humans make them unique, bringing about variations in populations [5][6][7][8] . Several studies have been conducted on dermatoglyphics patterns and morphogenetic traits in studying human diversity and variations among different ethnic groups in Nigeria 7,[8][9][10][11] , an important aspect of human genetics research.…”

“…Dermatoglyphics are unique to each individual and are helpful to clinicians, anthropologists and geneticists in different applications [1][2][3]15,22,23,25 . Several kinds of research have been conducted in different populations in Nigeria 1,[7][8][9]20,21,26 with respect to dermatoglyphic patterns among families/ethnic groups, but none among families in Irruan, Boki Local Government Area (LGA). Therefore, this study seeks to investigate the digito palma dermatoglyphic patterns among 50 families in Irruan, Boki Local Government Area (LGA), Cross River State, Nigeria.…”

Background and Objective:The uniqueness of digital-palmar dermatoglyphics patterns has made it possible for anthropological studies on ethnic differences and heritability among individuals. It has been widely studied, varying across different ethnic populations. This present study investigated the digitopalmar dermatoglyphic patterns among natives from the Irruan Clan, Boki. Materials and Methods: A total of 52 natives, were recruited and their prints were collected by conventional ink method, read using a hand magnifying lens. Analyses were performed using descriptive statistics, student t-test, chi-squared Test and significant set at 5%. Results: The loop, whorl, arch and compound distribution of fingerprint patterns were 40.4, 26.9, 19.2 and 13.5%, respectively. The frequency of loop patterns in males and females is 25% (13) and 15.4% (8), respectively. The mean total ridges count in the male's right hand and left hand were 91.6±8.3 and 90.6±6.7, respectively. The ATD angle of the male right hand and female right hand were 53.1±1.2 and 50.4±1.7, respectively. There were significant differences in the distribution of ATD angles among males and females. Conclusion: The dermatoglyphics patterns of selected natives of the Irruan clan. However, this study has provided baseline information for further anthropological studies.

“…It is worth noted that the special interest for practical application will be full bases, which will include a database of the characteristics of dermatological indicators of the population of all ethnic groups and regions of the country. Therefore, scientists around the world are actively conducting research of this type, with the ultimate goal -the formation of a complete database [1,3,12,13,15,19,20,23].…”

The formation of regional gene pools and the contribution of each of them to the formation of the population of Ukraine remains an actual topic of the present. The purpose of the study is to assess the contribution of each of the 5 territorial-administrative regions of Ukraine to the overall phenotypological picture of the finger dermatoglyphics of the male population of Ukraine. By the method of H. Cummins and Ch. Midlo conducted a dermatological study of 400 practically healthy men from 5 administrative-territorial regions of Ukraine. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out in the package “Statistica 6.1” using nonparametric methods. It was established that among practically healthy men of Ukraine without administrative-territorial distribution and representatives of various administrative-territorial regions 37.96% of reliable or tendencies of differences of information indicators of finger dermatoglyphics were revealed out of 108 analyzed parameters. The best information ability of quantitative (47.83%) indicators of finger dermatoglyphics was proved in comparison with qualitative (35.29%) indicators. The greatest number of differences in the signs of finger dermatoglyphics is established between men without division into administrative-territorial regions and men, residents of the southern (11.11%), eastern (10.19%) and western (8.33%) regions of Ukraine. Less number of differences from the overall picture of the country are found in men in the northern region, its rates significantly differed almost at the level of error and amounted to 5.56%. Indicators of finger dermatoglyphics of men in the central region in general do not differ significantly from those in general in Ukraine. Thus, the dominant component in the general phenotypological picture of finger dermatoglyphics of the male population of Ukraine has a central region whose rates were not significantly different from the country’s total, and to a lesser extent, the dermatoglyphics of the northern region. The obtained results indicate that the main genetic landscape of the gene pool of Ukraine, according to finger dermatoglyphics, forms the central and northern regions of the country.
