I was trying to search online on how to read the results from our daughters labs.

We do not see the Dr. until March and I am curious for the results of this test.

Anyone know how to decode the tests results or what the values mean?

The test was HLA Class ll

Thanks

Hi, I know about them, at least the celiac HLA DQ types.

Then there are HLA DR types too, and often here in lyme world there is question about HLA DR.

To decipher HLA DQ, go to en.wikipedia.org and type in HLA DQ and there is a very useful chart with the different beta and alpha chains.

If it is DR, there are DR charts on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-DR

Which ones were tested for ?

HLA-DR, DRW, DQ, Thanks
