Explore how your HLA-region DNA compares with reference populations around the world.
These results describe statistical genetic similarity, not proof of genealogy or a medical diagnosis.
Percentages describe similarity to reference populations; they do not establish direct descent.
Chapter I
Understanding Your HLA Heritage
The results of this analysis show that your immune system DNA shares patterns with
populations around the world. The HLA region on chromosome 6 is one of the most
variable parts of the human genome: a diversity preserved across hundreds of
thousands of years.
This is not a full-genome analysis. It focuses specifically on the HLA region,
which has a lower recombination rate than other parts of your DNA. This means
HLA patterns can reflect ancient admixture: connections that may predate
what you'd find in standard autosomal ancestry tests.
"HLA carries the memory of what humanity encountered:
a biological archive written by survival itself."
Ancient Immune Patterns
HLA genes helped your ancient matches recognize and fight pathogens.
These patterns were passed down with remarkable continuity.
Chromosome 6 Focus
This analysis examines the HLA region specifically, revealing
ancestral connections that standard tests may not detect.

HLA, or Human Leukocyte Antigens, are proteins found on the surface
of white blood cells and other immune cells. Located on chromosome 6, they are among
the most polymorphic genes in the human genome, meaning they come in many different
types, with each individual carrying a unique combination.
This extraordinary diversity isn't random. It reflects the accumulated encounters
of human populations with their environments across millennia. HLA variation has
been preserved through natural selection, creating a living record of human adaptation.
HLA Class I
Found on all nucleated cells, Class I proteins (HLA-A, -B, -C) help recognize
and destroy infected or abnormal cells. They present cellular contents to
cytotoxic T cells.
HLA Class II
Found on immune cells like T and B cells, Class II proteins (HLA-DR, -DQ, -DP)
activate the immune response by presenting external antigens to helper T cells.
Medical Significance
HLA typing is crucial for organ and tissue transplantation compatibility,
helping match donors and recipients to reduce rejection risk.
Analysis Limitations
Limited to chromosome 6 HLA region only
Represents ancient admixture patterns
