Buccal Swabs for HLA Test


Following is reply from Nezih Cereb from Histogentics, as per my knowledge, we still do not have any lab providing complete high resolution DNA typing. Datri (http://www.datriworld.org) is closely working with them. CMC vellore, TATA (mumbai) all sends blood samples to Histogenetic for DNA test.


Q: How can we send our sample(buccal swabs) to your lab in US from India?
You can get in touch with Mr.Raghu Rajagopal, CEO of DATRI, @ +91 98 40218667 
 He can direct and guide about the sample collection and shipment

Rs.10000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) for A,B,C,DRB1,DQB1 high resolution. The payment should be made before sending samples to our lab. Please mail the check/dd to our Chennai office address as below.
