What is HLA B27 QUALITATIVE PCR?

This test identifies the presence or absence of the HLA-B27 gene in your blood. HLA-B27 is a specific protein found on the surface of white blood cells, and its presence is associated with certain autoimmune diseases.

Why is this test important?

The presence of HLA-B27 is strongly linked to a group of inflammatory conditions called spondyloarthropathies, such as ankylosing spondylitis. This test helps in diagnosing and assessing the risk of developing these conditions.

How to Prepare
