Abstract :

The closest genetic based relationship existing in identical twin makes fingerprints and palm prints recognition a challenging task. The impressions of the friction ridges of skin on the all parts of fingers are called the fingerprints and palm region of the hand are known as palm prints. The fingerprints and palm prints are unique characteristics and permanent to every person. The fingerprints and palmprints are used for verification and personal identification of individuals, even in cases of identical twins. The purpose of this study is to illustrate that further work should be done which will provide more information in other areas of dermatoglyphics to explore in future investigation of crime cases. The main focus of this study of fingerprints and palmprints of identical twins is to examine the similarities and dissimilarities of prints patterns in the pairs which are compared heterolaterally (the prints of right hand of one twin compared with the prints of left hand of other) and homolaterally (the prints of right hand of twin 1 compared with the prints of right hand of twin 2 and similarly, compare the prints of both left hands). The bilaterally (between the hand of one pair) found similarities and dissimilarities between the hands of each identical twin are then compared with the above similarities and dissimilarities
