Detailed information about the possibility of integrated use in forensic medicine the comb drawing of the fingers and toes and dermatoglyphics of the palms and feet for the diagnosis of general phenotypic features of man are still absent, so their study may be
useful in medical forensic practice during the identification of dismembered or fragmented corpses in cases of mass death of people.
On the basis of relative anthropometric measurements, one can "create" a conditional anthropotype of each group: Hutsuls - Brahymorphs, Brachytsefals with a narrow face (leptoprosthesis); Boykos - Brahymorphs, Brachyforms or mesocephales with wide faces (erythrocytopenia); Lemkos - Dolychomorphs, Dolichosephals with a narrow face (leptoprosthesis); the control group is characterized by an almost uniform manifestation of all anthropotypes.
Descriptive phenotypic features, to some extent, also characterized ethno-territorial groups without gender identity, although no significant differences were found among the groups.
It has been established that there is a moderate positive and negative correlation between the anthropometric and dermatoglyphical parameters in different ethno-territorial and sexual groups. In studying the group variability of the complex of dermatoglyphical features, statistically significant patterns within ethno-territorial and gender groups were revealed.In the female population of the Hutsul`s ethnic group, a high frequency of radial loops (LR) and arches (A) on the fingers of both hands is established; high frequency of fabulyar loops (Lf) and curls (W) and complex patterns (LW) on the third right toe, W, LW on the fingers of both legs, tibial loops (Lt) on the fingers of the right leg, and the repetition frequency of the patterns on the same name fingers of one person; for female Boykos, the high frequency of radial loops (LR) are characterized on the fingers of both hands, the high frequency of their repetition on same-handed fingers of one person, as well as low frequency arcs (A), querls (W) and intricate patterns (LW); high frequency of tibial loops (Lt) on I-II-III fingers of both legs, low frequency of fabulyar loops (Lf), swirling patterns of the loop type (W) and complicated patterns (LW) on the fingers of both legs, high frequency of homolateral symmetry of patterns of the type such as tibial loops (Lt) on the I - III fingers of the left foot, the V fingers of the right foot is found only the pattern of the tibial loop (Lt), the high frequency of heterolateral symmetry of the tibial loop type (Lt) on the I - III fingers, the low index of the total comb account fingers of both legs; for Lemko`s women the high frequency of the tibial loops (Lt) on the 2nd to 3rd fingers of both legs is low, the frequency of arched type (A), loop (W) and complex patterns (LW) on the 2nd-3rd fingers of both legs, low frequency of the fabulyar loops (Lf), loops (W) and complex patterns (LW) on I, IV and V fingers of both legs; high heterolethral symmetry frequency of patterns of the tibial loop (Lt) and arcs (A) on the 1st and 3rd fingers.Men of the Hutsul`s can be differentiated according to the total frequency of the radial loops (W) on the fingers of the Lemko`s men - it is difficult to differentiate between them by the values of total curls (W) and complex patterns (LW) on the fingers Boyko`s and Hutsul`s men. Lemko`s men and control group on the values of total curls (W) and complex patterns (LW) and the total frequency of radial loops (W). Gender differences within ethno-territorial groups are not significant for most men and women. The exception is the control group (prevalence W in men), Hutsuls (prevalence W in women, LR in men), Boykos and Lemkos (advantage of LR, W in women, LW in men).In addition, the ethnic groups can be differentiated according to the values of the palm corners: the factors for the Hutsul group are the values of the angles Atdl, Atdr, Ctdr, Ctdl, Boyko - Atbl,Lemko - Atdl, Atdr, differentiate pair Hutsul-Boyko can with the values Atbl, Atbr, Atbr , Adtl, Btcl, Btcr, Hutsul-Lemko Atdr, Btcr, Atdl, Ctdr, Adtr, Boyko- Lemko - Ctdr, Ctdl.
The dermatological depiction of the feet does not have gender characteristics, but allows for the differentiation of ethno-territorial groups: for Lemkos there is a pattern of type W, which is practically not found in Boyko and Hutsuls,which are inherent the patterns of type LR and LU; but allows for the differentiation of ethno-territorial groups: Lemkos have a W-type pattern that is practically not found in Boykos and Hutsuls, which are superimposed on patterns such as LR and LU; the comb count of the foot is the lowest in the Hutsuls, the highest in Lemkosand practically does not differ in other groups;deltoid account feetis the lowest in the control and Boiko groups, and the highest in Lemkos.
