Can our DNA be used to guess at our fingerprints?

Or vice versa?

Are the patterns on our hands and feet are result of specific alleles in our genes, or are they a result of our environment instead of our DNA?

Not much is known about the specifics, but enough is known to answer your question.  

We know that there is a genetic component to fingerprint formation.  For instance, a mutation to the regulatory gene SMARCAD1 can yield adermatoglyphia--a rare condition that results in no fingerprints forming.  

We also know that environmental factors must be at play in the womb, as identical twins do not have identical fingerprints.
