Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the HLA B*5701 Genotyping Test in Mehsana to detect Abacavir drug hypersensitivity.
Overview of HLA B*5701 Genotyping Test
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes support the immune system's ability to identify and react to invading agents (such as viruses and bacteria). The major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which functions by presenting peptides to immune cells, is made up of class I HLA molecules, which are encoded by the HLA-B gene. There have been more than 1500 distinct HLA-B alleles discovered, including the HLA-B*57:01 variant. Abacavir is a highly effective nucleoside analogue reverse-transcriptase inhibitor used to treat HIV infection and AIDS. The HLA-B*57:01 allele has been linked to hypersensitivity to the drug. The mechanism is associated with the activation of T lymphocyte killer cells and is drug-specific. This test determines whether you carry a particular gene that could increase your risk of developing an allergy to one of the HIV drugs, Abacavir.

Why and when is the HLA B*5701 Genotyping Test done?
The doctor generally suggests this test for identifying those who are more likely to experience Abacavir hypersensitivity responses due to the presence of the human leukocyte antigen HLA-B*57:01 allele and also identifying Pazopanib users who are more likely to experience elevated alanine aminotransferase levels based on the presence of the HLA human leukocyte antigen allele B*5701.
The healthcare practitioner suggests this test when gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain), skin rashes, fever, malaise, and respiratory symptoms are observed. These are nonspecific hypersensitivity events that usually appear within the first six weeks of treatment. There have been fatalities associated with Abacavir hypersensitivity
HLA B*5701 Genotyping Test: Main Highlights
- Instructions: Prior to the sample collection for the blood test, refrain from eating or drinking anything other than water for at least 10 to 12 hours, i.e., tea, coffee, juice, biscuits, etc. Before sample collection, kindly avoid taking your morning medication (if applicable). Please refrain from using tobacco for 24 hours before giving a sample. If you are a woman and menstruating, then inform the lab personnel, as it would hinder the test results.
- Recommended Age: Above 5 Years of age
- Sample type for test: Blood in EDTA tube
Understanding how to interpret HLA B*5701 Genotyping Test Reports
A positive result for the human leukocyte antigen allele HLA-B*5701 confers a high chance of hypersensitivity to Abacavir and a higher risk of high alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in patients taking Pazopanib.
