HLA B27 QUALITATIVE PCR

The HLA-B27 qualitative PCR test detects the presence of the HLA-B27 gene, which is associated with certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, such as ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and uveitis. A positive result suggests an increased risk of these conditions and helps guide further diagnostic evaluation. The test is valuable for identifying individuals with a genetic predisposition to autoimmune diseases, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression. It provides important information for managing inflammatory conditions and ensuring appropriate medical intervention.
