Understanding Your Results

Results provide detailed HLA allele typing. Interpretation should be done by a specialist in genetics or transplant medicine.
Matched HLA alleles indicate high compatibility for transplants
Specific alleles may be associated with increased risk of autoimmune diseases
Consult a genetic counselor for family planning implications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HLA high resolution testing?
HLA high resolution testing is a genetic test that provides detailed typing of Human Leukocyte Antigen genes, crucial for transplant compatibility and autoimmune disease diagnosis.
Why is HLA testing important for organ transplants?
It ensures donor-recipient compatibility, reducing the risk of organ rejection and improving transplant success rates.
What autoimmune diseases are associated with HLA genes?
Diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, celiac disease, and psoriasis.
How is the sample collected for HLA testing?
Samples are collected via blood draw from a vein or buccal swabs from the inner cheek.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required unless specified by your doctor.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available within 10-12 days after sample collection.
What is the cost of HLA high resolution testing at DNA Labs India?
The cost is INR 15000, including free home sample collection across India.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, free home sample collection is available for online bookings in numerous cities across India.
What does a positive HLA test result mean?
It indicates specific HLA alleles detected; interpretation depends on context, such as transplant compatibility or disease association.
Can HLA testing diagnose celiac disease?
HLA testing can identify genetic susceptibility to celiac disease, but diagnosis requires additional clinical and serological tests.
What is the difference between high resolution and low resolution HLA testing?
High resolution testing provides detailed allele-level typing, while low resolution offers broader antigen group typing.
Who should consider getting HLA testing?
Individuals undergoing organ transplant evaluation, those with autoimmune symptoms, or those with a family history of HLA-related conditions.
