The HLA region on chromosome 6 is one of the most variable parts of the human genome. This report estimates which of 10 broad world regions that part of your DNA is most genetically similar to, and explains what the result does and does not mean.
Each item below is a real section of the report, in the order you read it.
The report opens with a headline summary: the three world regions your HLA region is most similar to, with their percentages, so you get the answer before the detail.
Every region with a signal is listed with its percentage, from largest to smallest. Select any region to open its detail panel.
Your result drawn on a world map so you can see where the regions in your result sit. The shading is a visual guide, not a border or a claim about where your family lived.
Each region has a card with an image, your percentage, a plain statement of what that percentage means, and a longer description of the region and its reference populations.
What HLA is, the difference between HLA Class I and Class II genes, why chromosome 6 is so variable, and a clear list of the analysis limitations.
An AI assistant can explain your result in conversational language. It uses only the regions and percentages in your report, and its answers are informational, not proof of ancestry and not medical advice. It needs the separate AI Assistant licence.
A mock-up of the breakdown and region panel, so you know what to expect before you buy. The numbers are invented.
Invented percentages for illustration. This is not a customer result.
Top three regions, shown in the report summary.
The 24.5% shown here would indicate the proportion of the HLA region of your DNA that is most similar to reference populations from this region. It is a similarity estimate, not a statement about where your relatives lived.
Below this sentence the real panel adds an image of the region and a longer description of the region and its reference populations.
The same regions drawn on a map, with a note that shading is a guide and not a border.
Class I and Class II genes explained, plus a list of what the analysis cannot do.
Your HLA region is compared against 10 continental-scale components. Each percentage in your report belongs to one of these.
HLA genes help the immune system recognize what belongs in the body. They are among the most variable genes we have, and the region is inherited in long blocks. That makes it a useful, separate view of population similarity.
Class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) is found on almost all cells and helps the immune system spot cells that are infected or abnormal.
Class II (HLA-DR, -DQ, -DP) is found on immune cells and helps start an immune response to things from outside the cell.
The report explains both in plain language. They are described for context only: the report does not report your HLA types and does not say anything about your health.

What HLA is, what the report shows, how to read it, and how your data is handled.
HLA stands for Human Leukocyte Antigen. It is a group of genes on chromosome 6 that helps the immune system tell the body's own cells from foreign ones. It is one of the most variable regions of the human genome.
No. The report is an ancestry and population-genetics report. It does not predict disease, does not diagnose anything, and is not a substitute for clinical HLA typing or transplant matching.
It shows a percentage breakdown across 10 broad world regions, based on how similar the HLA region of your DNA is to reference populations in each region. It also includes a global map, a profile for each region in your result, and a plain-language science chapter.
No. The report is a regional similarity breakdown. It is not a list of your HLA types.
The HLA region sits on chromosome 6 and is shaped by different evolutionary pressures than most of the genome. Looking at it on its own gives a separate view that a whole-genome estimate does not provide.
Whole-genome reports average across all chromosomes, while this report looks at one region that is inherited in long blocks and has its own history. Differences between the two are expected and do not mean either result is wrong.
Treat small values as tentative. They can reflect overlap between related reference populations, limited reference coverage, or statistical noise rather than a distinct connection.
A result measures statistical genetic similarity to reference populations in that region. It does not prove descent from a specific group, and it does not assign ethnicity, nationality or identity.
DNA Genics accepts supported raw DNA files from major testing companies, including 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, FamilyTreeDNA and Living DNA, and supported whole genome sequencing formats.
Processing depends on your file and the current queue. You receive an email notification when your report is ready.
Your report is private by default, and your account provides controls for managing and deleting stored data.
The purchase gives you ongoing access to the report in your account without a subscription. Results may be recalculated if the underlying reference data or report method is updated.
DNA Genics has been building ancestry and DNA analysis reports since 2018. Our reports come from years of work with our own reference panels, calculators and ancient-genome comparisons, developed and reviewed by our team. They are not generated on the fly or assembled as a side project. We use AI only in clearly labelled optional features.
