What is an HLA B27 PCR Test in Kolkata?

The HLA B27 PCR Test in Kolkata is a genetic blood test that checks for the Human Leukocyte Antigen B27 (HLA-B27) gene. This gene is linked to a higher risk of developing autoimmune and inflammatory conditions such as Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reactive Arthritis, and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.
