Service Providers for HLA-B27 Genotyping
HLA-B27 genotyping is a blood test that checks for the presence of the HLA-B27 gene, a specific genetic marker associated with an increased risk of developing certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and other spondyloarthropathies. The test is performed by analyzing a person's DNA to determine if they carry the HLA-B27 gene. While the presence of HLA-B27 alone does not confirm disease, it can help doctors diagnose and predict the risk of these conditions, especially in individuals with symptoms like joint pain or inflammation.
