Hi Sushi,
Do you know which lab he uses and which genes he checks? I was not offered this, but I would like it.
There was some discussion on another thread about whether or not it could be worked out from 23andme results and I think the answer was no.Will it be on my 23 and me test?
Shoemaker uses LabCorp. I could never find anywhere that was easy from the UK. The problem is I think there are many HLA DR genes - you can get some HLA DR tested in the UK but not the ones we are most interested in.okay thanks, have a massive problem with mould just wondering if I should get it done? but where?
HLA-DR haplotypes are determined based on up to 5 genes. They aren't really tested well enough by 23andMe to determine genotypes with certainty.Will it be on my 23 and me test?

For HLA-DRA you have DRA*010101 and DRA*010203. But for myself and a couple other patients, it can only be narrowed down to three possibilities, of which we have any two.
I haven't used any labs - basically I don't know any of my HLA types.Which lab did you use?
@Jenny
thanks for replying, were you diagnosed with Lyme?
Seems the choice of antibiotic is critical if treatment is to succeed.
