METHOD OF DIAGNOSING HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B8/14 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: examination of the area of the optic nerve disc by a method of optic coherent tomography is carried out. The thickness of a layer of peripapillary nervous fibres from 4 to 8 sector of a conventional clock face is determined. If the thickness of the layer of peripapillary nervous fibres in as minimum one of the sectors is lower than 34.81-35.84 mcm - in 4 sector, lower than 48.92-49.52 mcm - in 5 sector, lower than 67.76-68.56 mcm - in 6 sector, lower than 66.52-67.32 mcm - in 7 sector, lower than 32.98-33.76 mcm - in 8 sector, Huntington's disease is diagnosed. If the thickness of the layer of peripapillary nervous fibres in all segments in 4 sector is 34.81-35.84 mcm and higher, in 5 sector is 48.92-49.52 mcm and higher, in 6 sector is 67.76-68.56 mcm and higher, in 7 sector is 66.52-67.32 mcm and higher, in 8 sector is 32.98-33.76 mcm and higher, the absence of Huntington's disease in the patient is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method provides a possibility of disease express-diagnostics at a pre-clinical stage with high accuracy and specificity, provides a possibility of performing screening diagnostics of a large population of people aimed at early disease detection.
