DNA Risk is a type of genetic testing focused on identifying the likelihood of certain disorders by studying specific genetic variations.
It aids in screening individuals at risk, enhancing early detection, improving preventive measures, offering diagnostic information, and guiding treatment choices. Specifically, DNA Risk examines the link between HLA-related genes and autoimmune diseases, which arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. The report generated by this test includes information about relevant genetic variants, autoimmune conditions, environmental factors, and the associated risk or protection regarding certain disorders such as alopecia areata, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, among others.
