Description
The test detects the presence of human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) on the cell surface. This test is also performed to determine the likelihood of developing autoimmune diseases associated with the presence of HLA-B27, such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and Reiter's syndrome. Both AS and Reiter's syndrome are chronic, progressive conditions that affect men more often than women, and the first symptoms usually appear before the age of 30. Symptoms of AS include pain, inflammation, and gradual stiffening of the joints in the spine. Reiter's syndrome is a group of symptoms that includes arthritis, urethritis, conjunctivitis, and skin lesions.
