USE OF DERMATOGLYFICS IN DETERMINING THE PERSONALITY AND THE PROBABILITY TO SUICIDE IN FORENSIC MEDICINE
Abstract: As a result of a forensic medical dermatoglyphic study, the corpse corresponded to the age obtained using the traditional set of expert methods (odontoscopic and radiological), and the character of the above dermatoglyphic indices was the establishment of signs indicative of a predisposition of this person to committing suicide. Keywords: Dermatoglyphic, suicide, odontoscopic, predisposition.
In recent years, dermatoglyphics has been widely used in Uzbekistan and abroad as an information method for evaluating the individual and group properties of the human body [3]. The main directions of its practical application in forensic medicine: identification ofthe individual, predisposition to genetic diseases.
More rarely, this method is useful in determining the predisposition of a person to various genetic diseases and committing suicide [1; 2; 3].
The purpose of this study was to develop dermatoglyphic criteria for assessing personality and predisposition to commit suicide.
We give an example of the study of dermatoglyphics in the work of forensic experts of the Main Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
In the Yunusabad district of Tashkent, the corpse of an unknown man of 30-40 years of Asian nationality with signs of violent death in a hanged state was found on the territory of the construction of a residential house.
For the proper qualification of this crime and obtaining information about the identity of the deceased, it was necessary to establish the age, as well as the propensity for suicide, because in the decision on the appointment of examination was the question of the possibility of suicide.
According to the data of odontoscopic examination (predicting the "tooth age according to the degree of abrasion of the masticatory surface of the teeth in accordance with Gera-simov's method), the age corresponds to the age range from 30 to 45 years.
To clarify the age, X-rays of both elbows in the straight and lateral projection and both knee joints in a direct projec-
tion were made. X-ray data: "Bone" age corresponded to the range from 35 to 43 years.
The results of the conducted studies made it possible to draw a final conclusion about the age of the victim. However, in connection with the special importance of the case under investigation, it was required, at the insistence of the investigation, to carry out an examination with a change in all currently available techniques and to answer the question of the possibility of suicide. For examination, fingerprints of the victim were obtained, obtained with the help of computer programs for scanning the palmar and foot surfaces and changing der-matoglyphic techniques [3].
Age prediction was performed on the papillary relief of the fingers according to the method of Bogichenko [1].
The results of the research showed that the signs of the structure of papillary patterns reflected in them were studied in each print: the types of patterns of the orientation of the fluxes of the papillary lines, the crest count, the height of the patterns, the density of the papillary lines, the rudiments of the lines, the white lines, the scars, etc. According to the study, the minimum age is 35 years, the maximum permissible age is 39 years.
The predisposition to suicide was determined by the papillary relief of the fingers and both feet of the victim. The results of the study showed that in the fingerprints of palm and palmar and foot patterns, the areas of aplasia (absence) of papillary lines, hypoplasia (underdevelopment) and dysplasia (disturbances of normal course and interposition) are absent.
There are traces (linear scars) of previous injuries. The dermatoglyphic phenotype was characteristic for the representative of Asian nationality, with more typical for the

southern regions (the general phenotype WL is absent, the absence of A-patterns).
Signs of habitual professional activity are not determined.
Decoding of dermatoglyphic signs was carried out according to the international dermatoglyphic classification, according to which 61 dermatoglyphic parameters reflecting finger (crest count and type of patterns on each finger), palmar and foot patterns (palmar (stop) ridge count, presence and location of palmar lines A, B, C and D, the value of the angle atd, the nature of the figures on the tenus and gopotenuse and in the interdigital fields), i.e. almost all the elements described in medical dermatoglyphics.
Thus, as a result of the forensic dermatoglyphic study, the age that was obtained with the help of the traditional set of expert methods (odontoscopic and radiographic) was consistent with the character of the above dermatoglyphic indices was the establishment of signs indicative of the predisposition of this person to committing suicide.
In the course of further investigative actions, it was revealed that this subject was identified by relatives, the age of the passport (38 years), and also in his house was found a note in which he pointed to the reasons that led him to commit suicide.
