HLA-DR2

Goodpasture syndrome, Multiple sclerosis, Narcolepsy, Multidrug-resistant tuberculoid leprosy, Ulcerative colitis, Primary Biliary cirrhosis, and Autoimmune hepatitis are all conditions related to the HLA-DR2 allele. In addition, all cases with genuinely hemolytic Paroxysmal Nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and PNH associated with bone marrow failure have been connected with the HLA-DR2 gene.

Why done? 

As soon as it's decided that the person needs a solid organ or blood stem cell transplant, the person is usually tested to see if they're a good candidate for a transplant. People who might be donors before a transplant are tested when they are being looked at for compatibility with a specific person or signing up with a national donor registry.

Some people who need platelet transfusions don't see an increase in their platelet count because they have HLA antibodies. So, for better platelet response, blood donors give platelets that are HLA-matched to those who need them.
