Abstract :
oral cancer is a devastating disease. Many cancers occur due to abnormalities in the DNA sequences. The influence of genetic or environmental factors on early development of cancer is often reflected by the altered fingerprint and lip print. Hence this study was conducted to determine if any specific finger and lip print pattern can be considered as genetic marker in the development of cancer. Methodology: 100 subjects with the history tobacco consumption, residing in urban and rural areas were divided into 2 groups, group a– oral cancer (n=50) and group b– controls (n=50) respectively. Lip and finger prints were recorded and analyzed by two examiners. Results: the subjects who resided in the rural were found to be having cancer (31 out of 57), when compared to those residing in urban areas (19 out of 43). It was also noteworthy that the rural residents with cancer had more prevalence of straight and anched lip patterns (17.5% each), when compared to the urban residents (p=0.026). Similarly, whorl (21.1) and arch (28.1) pattern constituted to the majority of finger prints in rural cancer prone population. Conclusion: Presence of few specific lips and finger print patterns could be associated to the individual with cancer having a history of tobacco consumption and this could act as genetic marker
