Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Fingerprint is the oldest, reliable and mature biometric technologies and is considered as legitimate proof of identification. The correlation has been reported between physical characteristics like fingerprints and blood groups. The present study was aimed to evaluate the association of dermatoglyphic patterns with different blood groups and also to evaluate the role of dermatoglyphics in early detection of Bronchial Asthma prone individuals and predisposition of disease. Methodology: This study was conducted in 100 patients of bronchial asthma for various dermatoglyphics parameters by Modified Cotterman’s technique. Result : It was observed that in blood group B, the Whorl and in blood group O, Arch pattern in both hands of bronchial asthma patients was pre-dominant where as when compared to that of controls loop ulnar pattern was pre-dominant in blood group AB, the differences were highly significant for both (P< 0.001 & 0.01) (P<0.001) respectively. Conclusion: The association of blood group and different diseases with dermatoglyphics can be used as a scientific tool for early prediction and thus for prevention of the development of different diseases.
