Understanding Your Immune System Compatibility with HLA DNA High Resolution Typing
When facing organ transplantation, autoimmune conditions, or genetic health concerns, understanding your HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) profile becomes crucial for your treatment journey. The HLA DNA High Resolution Typing – C Locus test provides the detailed genetic information needed to ensure compatibility and guide effective medical decisions. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with these health challenges, which is why we’ve made this advanced testing accessible and affordable across South Africa.
What Does This Test Detect?
The HLA C Locus is a specific genetic marker that plays a vital role in your immune system’s ability to distinguish between your own cells and foreign substances. This high-resolution test uses advanced PCR and sequencing technology to provide detailed genetic information about your HLA-C genes, which is essential for:
- Ensuring compatibility between organ donors and recipients
- Identifying genetic risk factors for autoimmune diseases
- Guiding treatment decisions for certain medical conditions
- Providing crucial information for family planning in genetic disorders
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing or preparing for:
