HLA Typing A B C DQB1 DRB1

• Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Analysis: Identifies specific HLA genes (A, B, C, DQB1, DRB1) in an individual's DNA.
• Genetic Compatibility: Used to match donors and recipients for organ or bone marrow transplants.
• High-Resolution Typing: Provides detailed information about HLA gene variations.
• Laboratory-Based Test: Performed using a blood sample or tissue swab.
• Advanced Technology: Utilizes methods like PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and sequencing for precise results.

• Transplant Matching: Ensures compatibility between organ or bone marrow donors and recipients.
• Disease Association: Identifies genetic predispositions to certain autoimmune diseases.
• Research Applications: Supports studies in immunogenetics and disease correlations.
• Family Studies: Determines HLA compatibility for family members considering transplantation.
• Pharmacogenomics: Helps in understanding how individuals might respond to certain medications based on their HLA type.

• Sample Collection: Blood sample or tissue swab from the patient.
• DNA Extraction: Isolates DNA from the collected sample.
• HLA Typing: Analysis of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DRB1 genes using PCR and sequencing.
• Quality Control: Ensures accuracy and reliability of the genetic typing process.
• Detailed Report: Comprehensive results with HLA gene types identified.

• Matched HLA Types: Indicates compatibility for transplant donors and recipients.
• Unmatched HLA Types: Suggests incompatibility and potential rejection risk in transplants.
• Disease Risk Association: Certain HLA types are linked to a higher risk of autoimmune diseases.
• Clinical Correlation: Results interpreted alongside clinical data and other diagnostic tests.
• Genetic Insights: Provides detailed genetic information for personalized medical care.

• Turnaround Time: Results are typically available within 1-2 weeks.
• Secure Reporting: Results delivered to healthcare providers through secure channels.
• HLA Match Report: Indicates specific HLA types found in the individual’s DNA.
• Compatibility Status: Information on whether HLA types match potential donors or recipients.
• Clinical Recommendations: Guidance on the next steps based on HLA typing results.

Q. What is the HLA Typing A B C DQB1 DRB1 Test?
It is a genetic test that identifies specific HLA genes to check for compatibility in organ and bone marrow transplants
 

Q. Why would I need this test?
To determine if you are a match for a transplant donor or recipient, or to assess your risk for certain autoimmune diseases
 

Q. How is the test performed?
A blood sample or tissue swab is taken and analyzed in a lab to identify your HLA gene types
 

Q. How long does it take to get the results?
Results are usually available within 1-2 weeks
 

Q. What do the test results mean?
The results show your specific HLA types and whether they match a potential donor or recipient, or if they are associated with certain diseases
 

Q. Can this test help in disease diagnosis?
Yes, certain HLA types are associated with a higher risk of autoimmune diseases, which can aid in diagnosis and treatment planning
 

Q. Is this test important for family members?
Yes, it can help determine HLA compatibility among family members, especially for those considering organ or bone marrow transplants.
