Test Overview
Test Methodology

Sequence Specific Oligonucleotide Polymorphism (SSOP) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

Test Usage

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) recipients are typed for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, -DRB3/4/5, -DQB1, -DQA1, -DPB1, -DPA1, loci by high resolution (allele level) molecular methods.

In addition to the HLA high resolution typing patients are screened for preformed anti-HLA antibodies, the detection of anti-HLA antibodies directed to possible mismatches in less ideal donors is related with delay in the platelets and neutrophil engraftment and even with graft rejection.

Additional Information

Test includes HLA Typing Class I & II and Antibody Screening Class I & II. HLA Antibody Specificity Class I and II will be performed if indicated. By ordering this test the clinician acknowledges that additional reflex testing will be performed and billed at a separate additional charge if indicated.

HLA Typing should only be ordered once every five years.
