The present paper is devoted to the study of human hemoglobin transmission spectrums that were divided into four groups: hemoglobin of healthy persons, patients with schizophrenia, persons and people with and without the prodrome of schizophrenia that are in genetic susceptibility with patients. The change of absorption spectrums of hemoglobin of these groups was determined. The shifting of transmission minimums of the hemoglobin that correspond to electronic transitions in the hemoglobin molecule and aromatic aminoacid of persons with schizophrenia and persons that are in genetic susceptibility with patients means that the optical spectroscopy method can be used as a method of determinating schizophrenia disorders.

Key words: transmission spectrum, hemoglobin, schizophrenia, genetic susceptibility.
