understanding HLA haplotypes
Understanding haplotypes is a key part of healing from mold and CIRS.
13-6-52A/B/C Mold Susceptible
The 13-6-52A/B/C haplotype has been associated with a heightened genetic sensitivity to mold-related biotoxins.
What This Means for You:
Having this haplotype does not confirm that mold or mycotoxins are currently in your body—or that you’ve ever been exposed. What it can suggest is that your immune system may struggle to recognize and clear mold toxins effectively if exposure does occur. Therefore leaving biotoxins recirculating the system.

** 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. **
