Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA)-DR-DQ Disease Association Typing Low Resolution, Blood
Use
Determining class II human leukocyte antigens (HLA) to identify potential disease associations or markers for drug hypersensitivity. This test is useful in determining potential genetic predispositions to certain autoimmune diseases and can be instrumental in identifying patients at risk for drug hypersensitivity reactions.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and was developed in compliance with CLIA regulations. While it provides valuable insights into genetic predispositions and disease associations, interpretation depends on the specific rationale for ordering the test. The results may need to be integrated with clinical information for a comprehensive understanding.
