understanding HLA haplotypes
Understanding haplotypes is a key part of healing from mold and CIRS.
11-7-52B MARCoNS Susceptibility
If you carry the 11-7-52B haplotype, your immune profile may show a higher tendency toward developing MARCoNS, short for Multiple Antibiotic-Resistant Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci — a resistant staph infection that commonly lives in the deep nasal passages.
Important to Know:
This haplotype is not directly tied to increased susceptibility to mold, Lyme, or other biotoxins. However, its statistical connection to MARCoNS is important because this infection can stall or disrupt progress during biotoxin illness recovery.

- MARCoNS can be tested through MicrobiologyDx
If you’re struggling with treatment plateaus, persistent sinus symptoms, or unexplained inflammation, it may be worth ruling out MARCoNS — especially with this haplotype.
** Your HLA genes are part of your immune system’s ability to recognize and respond to threats. But certain haplotypes are essentially “faulty”—they don’t help your body recognize or clear biotoxins the way most people’s do. This sets off the innate immune response, which triggers inflammation, but the adaptive immune system never kicks in to finish the job. The result? Toxins get trapped in the body, inflammation floods your system, and the immune response never shuts off. This is what can lead to CIRS—Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. *This information is for educational purposes only and not a substitute for medical care. **
