A member asked:

Wht is an anti dna lab test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably for lupus: Your question is a little vague, but i suspect you are referring to a test that is sometimes used to look for lupus. In lupus there are certain antibodies that are known as anti double stranded dna antibodies that target a protein in dna. This test looks for a specific auto-antibodies.
