title: Prognosis of hemolytic anemia in G6PD- subjects. Multifactorial cluster analysis of biochemical characteristics of red cell age groups.
abstract: Individual susceptibility of 10 G6PD- hemizygotes to oxidative hemolytic agents was tested on the basis of multifactorial cluster analysis of biochemical indices of erythrocyte populations; the indices related to G6PD activity and glucose metabolism were analyzed under physiological and oxidative stress conditions in very young, exactly adult and very old red cell suspensions. Biochemical images of G6PD- erythrocytes were obtained and compared with the donor (7 subjects) biochemical image on a IBM-PC computer according to a special "taxon" program. As a result, a stable subdivision of 10 Gd- biochemical images into 5 taxons was formed; each taxon included G6PD subjects with a certain form of clinical appearance of G6PD deficiency. Multifactorial cluster analysis of biochemical data on the erythrocyte population allows a clinical prognosis for G6PD- subjects.
