Dear Dr. Braverman,I read on your site that certain KIR proteins combined with certain HLA genes can predispose a child to genetic risk for autism. In your immune panel, you order HLA panels for both parents, but a KIR panel only for the mother. For purposes of assessing risk for autism, would it be helpful for the father to have a KIR panel done as well?
