Definition
What HLA-DR / DQ measures
HLA-DR and DQ typing reports inherited immune-presentation haplotypes. Shoemaker protocols use specific haplotypes as a susceptibility marker, not as a circulating lab value that trends draw to draw.

Why it matters
How clinicians usually read it
It is a one-time venous genetic type, not a Tasso+ chemistry. The report is a haplotype list. The sample number here is only a placeholder count of susceptible haplotypes for the prototype dashboard.
When it reads low
A lower value can mean
A zero here means the sample report did not flag a published multi-susceptible haplotype. It does not mean someone cannot become ill after a large exposure.
When it reads high
A higher value can mean
A value of one or more means the sample report flagged a published susceptible haplotype. That is a risk pattern, not a diagnosis of CIRS.
Questions for a clinician
Bring the number into a real conversation
01
Which exact haplotypes came back, not just a yes/no?
02
Does this haplotype change how aggressively we treat, or only how we interpret risk?
03
Do we ever need to repeat HLA typing?
