Abstract
Background: This study was aimed at investigating the Prevalence Pattern of axial triradii in the Ikwerres’ Binis’ and Igbos’. The study was an observational, analytical and cross-sectional design with volunteers age ranging from 18-60 years. For the purpose of this study, an individual was considered to be a Nigeria of a particular ethnic group if the parents and four grandparents are of the same ethnic group. Materials and Methods: Cluster sampling method was used for the study. The selection and collection of required parameters relied on informed consent of volunteer subjects. This was done by giving them a copy of the informed consent letter which was signed and dated. A total of 1,200 subjects (Bini 400, Ikwerre 400 and Igbos 400) subjects were recruited for the study. The fingerprints were obtained using print scanner (Hp G3110 Photo scanner) following Oghenemavwe and Osaat (2015) improvised model. Results and Discussion: Result of the study showed that the total prevalence of the axial triradii across the three ethnic groups (n=1,200). For Ikwerre (n=400), the total prevalence of the triradii were thus for the right: t 210(52.5%), t1 128(32.0%), t2 62(15.5%) while on the left thus t 204(51.0%), t1 126(31.5%) and t2 70(17.5%). For Bini (n=400) were thus on the right: t 192(48.0%), t1 130(30.3%), t2 78(19.5%) while on the left thus t 187(46.8%), t1 131(32.8%) and t2 82(20.4%) and the Igbos (n=400) were thus on the right: t 181(45.3%), t1 115(28.8%), t2 104(25.9%) while on the left thus t 174(43.5%), t1 116(29.0%) and t2 110(27.5%). In the prevalence of the position of axial triradii across the three ethnic groups, the t-position was the most prevalent, followed by t1 and t2. In the Igbo population there was an increased prevalence of t2 on the left hand compared to the Ikwerre and Bini population. Conclusion: The similarity in prevalence pattern of the axial trradii suggests possible genetic proximity and that the Ikwerre people may possibly have received con
