The HLA B7 test is utilized for the detection of individuals with seronegative spondyloarthropathy, juvenile spondyloarthropathy, and certain instances such as Undifferentiated Spondyloarthropathy.

What are seronegative spondyloarthropathies?

Seronegative spondyloarthropathies are a group of inflammatory joint diseases that primarily affect the spine, though other joints can also be involved. The term "seronegative" refers to the fact that these conditions test negative for rheumatoid factor, a protein often found in other types of arthritis.

What diseases are associated with HLA B7?

HLA-B7, a form of human leukocyte antigen, is associated with ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. It serves as a genetic marker rather than a conclusive determinant, impacting the vulnerability to these autoimmune disorders. This underscores the intricate nature of disease progression, which involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

What is HLA-B7 positive mean?

A positive result indicates the presence of the HLA-B7 variant. However, this does not definitively diagnose a seronegative spondyloarthropathy, as not everyone with this variant will develop these conditions. A negative result means the HLA-B7 variant was not detected.

What is the cost of HLA B7 test?
