HLA-C (C1/C2) Genotyping
HLA-C typing at the allelic resolution level is used for the detailed determination of HLA-C gene variants. This gene plays a crucial role in the communication between the mother's immune system and the developing embryo during pregnancy. HLA-C analysis helps identify specific combinations of maternal and fetal genes that may be associated with a higher risk of complications such as recurrent miscarriages, preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), or preterm birth. We recommend combining it with the KIR haplotype determination method.

The KIR haplotype (A/B) determination method allows for the identification of the mother's genetic makeup in the region of KIR receptors. These receptors play a crucial role in the communication between the mother's immune system and the embryo during pregnancy, where they recognize HLA-C molecules on the embryo's surface. Analysis of the KIR haplotype can help reveal specific maternal genotypes that, in combination with the fetal HLA-C, may be associated with a higher risk of pregnancy complications.
