Also, have a look at the query "SubclassOf" in %Dictionary.ClassDefinitionQuery:

select name from %Dictionary.CompiledClass where Super='yourclassnamehere'

This condition is insufficient for multi-level inheritance (C is a subclass of B, B is subclass of A. So C is subclass of A but Super wouldn't show this information). More on that in here.
