Description
Priyadarshani Sarkate and co-authors test, in 2024, whether fingerprints can flag people at risk of precancerous mouth conditions. Fingerprint patterns are fixed early and can hint at genetic susceptibility. Eighty people were split into four groups: two mouth conditions, tobacco users without lesions, and healthy controls.
Ink fingerprints were compared for pattern types. Loops dominated everywhere, but whorls were more frequent in the fibrosis group than in the white-patch group, while arches ran lower in the white-patch group. The authors conclude fingerprint reading might serve as a cheap early marker for spotting people prone to these disorders, pending wider validation.
