NEW HLA-C typing

This test requires a doctor's consent form. Don't have your own doctor? Then we recommend scheduling a brief appointment with Dr. Tigran so he can assess whether a DNA test is right for you. To do so, add this product(medical intake consultation) to your shopping cart.

The HLA-C typing is a genetic blood test that provides insight into your HLA-C gene variant, an important part of the immune system. The test is mainly used in in-depth immunological research and for (suspicion of) autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis. The result is valid for life and provides an additional piece of the puzzle for complaints and other investigations.

*It can take +/- 14 days before the result is available.
*This test can only be processed if a consent form is submitted.

When is this test useful?

• (Suspicion of) psoriasis
  - certain HLA-C variants, such as HLA-C*06:02, are more common here

• Autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammation

• Advanced immunological research

• Supplement to other HLA tests (such as HLA-B27)

Please note that HLA-C typing is not a screening test, but is intended as a targeted additional investigation.

What do the results say?

• The test shows which HLA-C variant you have.

• The result is not a diagnosis in itself, but an important puzzle piece in combination with symptoms and other tests

• Interpretation is always done by a physician in conjunction with the medical context

If anything abnormal is found that may require immediate medical follow-up, you will always be called by a doctor or medical professional first.
