DNA Risk

DNA Risk provides insights into the HLA-related Autoimmunity 

Various genetic and environmental factors have been found to contribute to autoimmune disorders. One of the strongest genetic associations is linked to the MHC region and its related gene products, the human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). These HLAs play a pivotal role in the antigen presentation of self and nonself peptides and the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses.

Clinical value:

The comprehensive DNA Risk HLA-Related Autoimmunity (HLA test) looks at gene variants related to common autoimmune diseases and provides healthcare practitioners with diagnostic insights for patients already suffering from an autoimmune disorder, or who are identified as at risk due to a family history of disease and exposure to environmental risk factors.

The report provides:

The report presents the HLA alleles and genotype data in a user-friendly manner, followed by a brief description of the relevant autoimmune disorders, insights into environmental contributors, and risk (and protective) HLA alleles and MHC-related gene variants related to the disorders.

Assessment of:

Gene variants related to common autoimmune diseases provide healthcare practitioners with diagnostic insights for patients already suffering from an autoimmune disorder, or who are identified as at risk due to a family history of disease and exposure to environmental risk factors.

The autoimmune diseases discussed in the report include:

  • Alopecia areata (AA)
  • Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
  • Coeliac disease (CD)
  • Graves’ disease (GD)
  • Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT)
  • IgA nephropathy (IgAN)
  • Lyme borreliosis
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
  • Vitiligo
  • Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN)

How does it work?

A BloodSpot Analysis test kit will be sent to you by mail. All it requires is a few drops of blood from one of your fingers. Once completed, a booking can be made with the designated courier to collect the kit (with no additional charges), which will be delivered to the laboratory for testing.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

All test kits are shipped and are expected to arrive within a few working days. The shipped test kits are considered concluded orders and are non-refundable any longer.

Average processing time:

18-21 days, after the test kits are returned to the lab. Return tests to the lab within 90 days of the order.

How do I take a sample?

All kits include straightforward instructions, allowing you to obtain a sample at home easily.

Are the tests reliable?

Yes! We use leading accredited laboratories to ensure that our testing is of the highest quality.

What will I receive after the test has been processed?

A report will then be generated with detailed information about the tested areas and recommended interventions. The report is presented in a patient-friendly manner so you can understand the possible issues and act upon the clearly formulated recommendations. You will be provided with a secure login on the lab platforms to view and download the results.

What happens after I receive the results?

You will be presented with the option to book an appointment with the doctor to further discuss the test results. The appointment will last about 30-60 minutes (includes the time the doctor needs to study the results), during which professional interpretation, further advice, and a possible therapeutic plan, based on your results, will be provided.

Privacy policy:

The DNA and the original sample material are destroyed after 3 months, so that there are no names or other identifiers on the samples. The samples are analysed only for the SNPs that are included in the tests at DNALife, and no other research or analyses are performed without separate permission from the patient. We do not give or sell the results to any third parties.
