Hot on the Trail of Genes that Shape Our Fingerprints.

The Journal of investigative dermatology - 1 Apr 2016

Walsh Susan, Pośpiech Ewelina, Branicki Wojciech

Abstract excerpt

Fingerprint patterns have been associated with their ability to identify an individual uniquely, but can uniqueness be understood genetically? Ho et al. point out some key variants that may be responsible for some of the concentric patterns that are observed in digital skin. Furthermore, they propose that one highly associated gene, ADAMTS9-AS2, has a role in epigenetic regulation, a role that may be important in...
