Hi my doctor checked my blood for HLA B-27 however it came back negative. Does anyone know what this means? I was diagnosed with lupus a couple weeks ago, is this a marker associated with lupus?

It is closely associated with certain forms of inflammatory arthritis - not as far as I know with lupus though.

Diseases associated with the HLA-B27 subtype can be remembered with the mnemonic PAIR, and include Psoriasis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Inflammatory bowel disease, and Reactive arthritis.
