This report is concerned with the correlation analysis of plasma amino acids as a possible tool to differentiate between healthy people and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Out of 450 theoretically possible correlations between plasma amino acids 95 statistically significant correlations were found in normals whereas 184 correlations were observed in RA. When the method reported here was used to find out whether an unknown sample originated from RA or normal, only one out of 40 RA-samples was incorrect. In controls 3 out of 14 failed. The possibility to use this method for common diagnostic problems is indicated.
本报告关注血浆氨基酸的相关性分析，将其作为区分健康人和类风湿关节炎（RA）患者的一种可能工具。在血浆氨基酸之间理论上可能存在的450种相关性中，正常人群中发现了95种具有统计学意义的相关性，而在类风湿关节炎患者中观察到184种相关性。当使用此处报告的方法来确定一个未知样本是来自类风湿关节炎患者还是正常人时，40个类风湿关节炎样本中只有1个判断错误。在对照组中，14个样本中有3个判断错误。这表明了该方法用于常见诊断问题的可能性。
