Description: HLA-B51/B52 (HLA-B5) genotype, whole blood Method: Real-Time PCR Result Format: R1 Result Reference Values Negative Technique: DNA extraction from whole blood and subsequent amplification by real-time PCR (CE-IVD commercial method) of the HLA-B51/52 alleles, associated with predisposition to Behçet's disease, and a fragment of the HBB (ß-globin) gene used as an internal positive control. Note: Using this procedure it is possible to detect the HLA B51 and HLA B52 alleles associated with Behçets disease. Version of Test: 6 | Description: HLA-B*51/52 GENOTYPING (HLA B5), WHOLE BLOOD Method: Multiplex PCR/Real-Time PCR Result Format: R1 Sample R2 Result Reference Values: Interpretation Behçet's disease (BD) is a form of vasculitis which manifests with mouth and urogenital ulcers, uveitis, stereocolitis and skin and other organs inflammation. Despite its global distribution, it is more frequent in the Silk Road area (from East Asia to the Mediterranean basin), with greater prevalence in Turkey and relatively frequent in Japan and Iran. BD is associated with HLA-B*5 antigen, encoded by the HLA-B*51 and HLA-B*52 alleles. Therefore, it is considered a risk factor strongly associated with this disease, as well as with an expression modulating effect. This report should be evaluated by a specialist in the context of all available clinical and family information in conjunction with other laboratory findings. Genetic counselling is recommended. Test method DNA extraction followed by real-time PCR amplification (CE-IVD commercial method) of HLA-B*51/52 alleles, associated with Behçet's disease predisposition, and of an HBB gene fragment (β-globin) as internal positive control. Test limitations Variants other than those studied are not analyzed. Normal/polymorphic genomic variation in the patient may interfere with variant detection in the sample.
