Kir Typing Information
You Must Know
Test Name: Kir Typing
Sample Type:
Patient:
Male,Female,Child
- Purpose: The Kir Typing Test is conducted to determine the genetic variation in Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIRs), which play a crucial role in regulating immune responses, particularly in natural killer (NK) cells
- Methodology: This test employs molecular genetic techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS), to analyze specific genetic variations within the KIR gene complex
- Sample Requirement: A small blood sample or buccal swab is collected from the patient for genetic analysis
- Analysis: The DNA extracted from the sample is amplified and sequenced to identify polymorphisms and allelic variations within the KIR gene loci
- Accuracy: The test offers high accuracy in identifying KIR genotypes, providing valuable information for understanding immune system function and disease susceptibility
