METHOD FOR DIAGNOSTICS OF PREDISPOSITION TO DIABETES MELLITUS OF FIRST TYPE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B5/117 G06K9/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: for diagnostics of predisposition to diabetes mellitus of the first type of the open palms are scanned together with fingers of the left and right hands (LH, RH) with a digital photocamera with high resolution ability or with a special scanner, made to order. Digital images are transmitted to a personal computer. The fingerprint of the distal phalanges and dermatoglyphic topography traits of palmar patterns are evaluated. When the diagnostics the following are recorded on the phalanges: the nature of patterns, ridge account; on palms: ridge account, value of the angle atd, the direction of the main palmar lines A, B, C and D in the palm field, the character of patterns on the thenar, hypothenar and interdigital fields, width and type of location of palmar lines, location of the palmar and axial threeradiuses. Interpretation of dermatoglyphic signs is carried in accordance with internationally accepted classification. Lifting of fingers and palmar prints is produced by printer's ink on paper and then they are scanned. Each dermatoglyphic sign a weight factor is assigned. If the sum of the coefficients is > 3.0 the risk is the greatest and the likelihood of disease is > 0.9. If the sum of the coefficients is ≤0.44 the risk is minimal and the probability of disease is <0.1.

EFFECT: method is simple, economical, noninvasive, requires no expensive equipment and reagents.
