About This Test
The HLA-B27 test is a genetic marker useful in diagnosing autoimmune disorders involving the spine, joints, and eyes. It is most closely linked to ankylosing spondylitis but supports diagnosis only when correlated with symptoms and imaging findings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Molecular testing is a type of laboratory test that analyzes molecules in the body—usually DNA, RNA, or proteins—to detect diseases, infections, genetic conditions, or other biological changes using advanced technique like PCR.
No special preparation.
Mon-Sat Sample before 11am, report same day. After 11 am or sunday, report nex day.
HLA-B27 PCR test is important because it helps detect the presence of the HLA-B27 gene, which is associated with a higher risk of certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, particularly spondyloarthropathies.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
