Limb development genes underlie variation in human fingerprint patterns

Abstract: Summary Fingerprints are of long-standing practical and cultural interest, but little is known about the mechanisms that underlie their variation. Using genome-wide scans in Han Chinese cohorts, we identified 18 loci associated with fingerprint type across the digits, including a genetic basis for the long-recognized “pattern-block” correlations among the middle three digits. In particular, we identified a variant near EVI1 that alters regulatory activity and established a rol… Show more

“…5 b; Additional file 1 : Table S2). And it can be found that there was a centrally significant correlation between various time points between 1 day and 1 month, which is similar to the “pattern-block” phenomenon [ 18 , 19 ]. When the NFAT family expression at each time point in the trauma group and the control group were correlated together, it was found that there was also a centrally significant correlation between 3 days and 2 weeks after surgery (Fig.…”

“…When both groups were analyzed simultaneously, this clustered and significant correlation was found to occur over a period of 3 days to 2 weeks, which is similar to the “pattern-block” phenomenon. This phenomenon was first reported in the study of the clinical manifestations and nucleotide polymorphisms of fingers [ 18 , 19 ]. Scholars found that the clinical phenotypes and nucleotide polymorphisms between the middle fingers had a more significant correlation [ 18 ].…”

“…In addition to these analyses conducted primarily within CKB, we have contributed to many genome wide association studies in collaboration with major consortia, including trans-ancestry studies of intracranial aneurysm 10 , recurrent miscarriage 11 , blood lipids 50 , fingerprint patterns 51 , diabetes 52 , and height 13 . In particular, CKB has made important contributions to the growing number of studies focussed specifically on populations of East Asian ancestry, including the largest single contribution to a GWAS of depression in East Asians 53 ; and a major contribution to a GWAS of type 2 diabetes, the largest East Asian GWAS to date 54 .…”

“…Moreover, researchers were paying more attention to the relationship between human macro and micro fields, especially human development phenotypes. Recently, Li et al (2022) maintained that fingerprint patterns were genetically related to hand and finger proportions. Nevertheless, studies on human microbiota and developmental phenotypes were rare.…”
