About this test
Overview of HLA Genes
HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) genes are highly polymorphic, meaning they exist in numerous different forms across the human population.
Inheritance and Genetic Variation
Each person inherits two copies of each HLA gene—one from each parent—resulting in a unique HLA genotype for every individual.
Importance in Transplantation
HLA A, B, and C genes play a critical role in organ transplantation and tissue typing. A close match between donor and recipient HLA genes helps reduce the risk of transplant rejection.
Clinical Significance Beyond Transplantation
HLA matching is also vital in the diagnosis and management of autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and certain types of cancer.
