Results of this study showed that loops had the highest percentage as 53.47% in the RH+ blood type and 5.07% in the RH- blood type. This was followed by the whorl fingerprint pattern as 29.57% in the RH+ blood type and 3.07% in the RH- blood type. The lowest percentage was found for the arch fingerprint pattern as 8.2% and 0.06% for RH+ and RH- blood types, respectively.
