Immunologically-Related Genetic Tests

Dear All
So far, we have lists of tests offered by Children's Hospital Westmead (CHW), kindly sent by Bruce Bennetts' team, and I've been informed of tests available from Sonic as well.

I welcome further information from other laboratories involved in these testing domains, so that a comprehensive database can be assembled. As you've seen, a centralised database also exists on RCPA website, and the goal would be to share this information with that site so as to ensure, wherever possible, that details are up-to-date. Only genetic tests which centrally bear upon immunological disturbances will be listed here. I'll be adding these details to spreadsheet for rare and noteworthy tests in due course: the spreadsheet is available here.
Regards GR
