Description

An HLA-B27 PCR test is a blood test that uses Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of the HLA-B27 gene in a person's white blood cells. This test is used to assess the risk of developing certain autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, primarily ankylosing spondylitis, and requires no special preparation. A positive result indicates the gene is present, which may increase the risk for conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and reactive arthritis, while a negative result means the gene is absent. What it measures The test detects the Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA-B27) protein, a specific gene found on the surface of white blood cells. It determines if this specific genetic marker is present in your sample. Why it is performed To diagnose autoimmune diseases: It helps doctors identify or rule out autoimmune disorders like ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and reactive arthritis by identifying a strong genetic link. To investigate symptoms: It is often recommended for individuals with symptoms such as chronic back and joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the eyes, urethra, or joints. For organ transplantation: It can be used to help match donated tissue with a recipient to reduce the risk of organ rejection. What the results mean Positive result: The HLA-B27 gene is present. This indicates a higher-than-average risk for developing certain autoimmune conditions, but it does not mean you will definitely develop one. Negative result: The HLA-B27 gene is not detected. This means you are less likely to have these specific conditions, though it does not fully rule out an autoimmune disorder, as some people without the gene can still develop them. How to prepare No special preparation is needed for the test. You can eat and drink as you normally would. A blood sample is collected from your arm for analysis. Important considerations This test is a genetic marker and not a definitive diagnosis. Other tests may be conducted along with the HLA-B27 test to provide a complete picture, such as blood tests for inflammation markers or X-rays. A medical provider will interpret the results in the context of your symptoms and medical history.
