The DLA genes encode proteins that recognize foreign substances and present them to the immune system in order to trigger a targeted immune response. However, errors in distinguishing between the body&#8217;s own cells and foreign cells can lead to autoimmune diseases.<\/p><p>Analysis of DLA genes reveals just how great the <strong>genetic diversity of <\/strong>these genes is, since high diversity supports a stable immune system. At the same time, however, these alleles can also provide important insights into <strong>individual risks for certain autoimmune diseases<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Effective immediately, our DLA test results go a step further: For allele combinations associated with an increased risk of certain diseases, the results now include <strong>specific<\/strong> <strong>screening recommendations<\/strong> whenever possible. As a result, you will receive not only genetic information but also practical suggestions for targeted health monitoring. This is how genetic knowledge translates into real prevention.<\/p><p>A real-world example: Allele combinations linked to an increased risk of diabetes mellitus were identified in \u201cHenry,\u201d an English Cocker Spaniel. Therefore, we recommend regular checkups using the \u201cDiabetes Monitoring\u201d profile so that you can take action early if necessary.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67d4591 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"67d4591\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f37294 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7f37294\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a9daca elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-ibutton\" data-id=\"4a9daca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"ibutton.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ot-button\">\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/labogen.com\/en\/dog-leukocyte-antigens-dla\/\" class=\"octf-btn octf-btn-dark\">Here you'll find even more information about DLA typing!<\/a>\r\n\t    <\/div>\r\n\t    \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f620c18 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f620c18\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: DLA Classification Now Includes Specific Preventive Care Recommendations DLA (Dog Leukocyte Antigen) typing provides a genetic insight into your dog&#8217;s immune system.
