The HLA-B27 Detection Test by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a molecular genetic test used to identify the presence of the HLA-B27
gene in a patient's DNA.
The HLA-B27 gene codes for the HLA-B27 protein, which is found on the surface of white blood cells. The presence of this gene is a significant genetic risk factor for developing a group of chronic inflammatory diseases known as spondyloarthropathies (SpA), most notably Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
The PCR method is the most reliable technique for genetic detection, offering extremely high sensitivity and specificity by analyzing the patient's DNA.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we provide definitive HLA-B27 testing using advanced molecular PCR technology.
