Description: The HLA-B27 test is primarily used to help strengthen or confirm a suspected diagnosis of immune disorders. This is NOT a definitive test that can be used to diagnose or rule out a disorder. It is used as one piece of evidence in a constellation of signs, symptoms, and lab tests to support or rule out the diagnosis of certain autoimmune disorders, such as Amkylosing Spondylitis, urveitis and several other autoimmune disorders.
Methodology
Polymerase Chain Reaction Amplification • Sequence Specific Oligonucleotide Probes
Note: Result turn around times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
