What do my HLA-DR results mean?
Your doctor or the lab will give you your "immune haplotype" or you can use this HLA-DR calculator to find your haplotype from your lab results.

Your immune haplotype is made up of 2 sets of (usually) 3 numbers. For example, you may be a "4-3-53" and a "13-6-52A" if you are heterogeneous for immune type (which means you got a different immune type from each parent.) If you are homogenous for immune type (which means you got the same "brand" from both parents) you will have only three numbers in your code like "7-2-53." Keep in mind there are also a few types that only have two numbers in their code like "1-5."
Use this chart to see if you have any of the Biotoxin susceptible immune types.
Multisusceptible:
4-3-53
11/12-3-52B
14-5-52B (Instead of 14-5-53B which I am informed was a typo in my source - see below.)
(9-3-53 * new addition to the list from Dallas CIRS doctors conference 2016 - is relatively rare)
Mold Susceptible:
7-2/3-53
13-6-52A,B,C
17-2-52A (B is likely also mold susceptible per Dallas CIRS doctors conference 2016)
18-4-52A
Borrelia, post Lyme Syndrome:
15-6-51
16-5-51
Dinoflagellates: 4-7/8-53
MARCoNS: 11-7-52B
Low MSH: 1-5
No recognized significance: 8-3,4,6
Low-risk Mold:
7-9-53
12-7-52B
9-9-53

A note on Celiac disease: Previously it was thought that Celiac disease was associated with an HLA-DQ (the middle number) of 2 and sometimes 8. Researchers now know this is incorrect. Celiac disease is associated with the HLA types of 17-2-52A,B,C and 7-2-53. If you have these genetic types you need 2 other blood tests. If you are AGA positive and TTG negative, you are a CIRS patient. If you are AGA positive and TTG positive you have celiac disease.
