Fingerprint patterns are linked to limb development genes

In the most comprehensive analysis to date, researchers found that the shapes of fingerprints — whether they are circular, wavy, or winding — are influenced by the genes responsible for limb development instead of skin patterning. The study could help scientists better understand the association between genes and phenotypical traits in humans.
