Examen de antígenos de histocompatibilidad - Results

Nombres alternativos

Tipificación tisular; Tipificación de HLA

Valores normales:

Cada persona tiene una pequeña serie de antígenos HLA relativamente únicos que hereda de sus padres. Los niños, en promedio, tendrán la mitad de sus antígenos HLA compatibles con la mitad de los antígenos HLA de su madre y la otra mitad compatible con los de su padre.

Es improbable que dos personas sin ningún parentesco presenten la misma estructura de HLA, aunque los gemelos idénticos pueden tener compatibilidad entre sí.

Algunos tipos de HLA son más comunes en ciertas enfermedades autoinmunitarias. Por ejemplo, el antígeno HLA-B27 se encuentra en muchas personas (pero no en todas) con espondilitis anquilosante y síndrome de Reiter.
