• How is HLA-DR15 related to Multiple Sclerosis?

Studies show an association between this genetic marker and an increased susceptibility to MS, though its presence does not guarantee the disease will develop.

• How long does it take to get the results?

Since the test uses advanced molecular techniques, results usually take between 3 to 7 working days.
