The celiac disease test uses Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-typing to confirm or exclude the possibility of celiac disease by examining the main 2 or 16 DNA markers.

Celiac disease is what’s known as a genetic autoimmune disorder caused by an intolerance to gluten. Left untreated, it can lead to serious complications, which could negatively impact on your quality of life. Symptoms include: stomach pain, bloating and flatulence (passing wind), diarrhoea, indigestion and constipation. Celiac disease can also cause more general symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss, an itchy rash and difficulties with getting pregnant.

If you think that you may have the condition, it could be well worth your while doing Genetic Testing for Celiac Disease to see whether or not you carry the genes related to the disease.

If you suspect that the symptoms you are experiencing may be caused by celiac disease, you have probably given some thought to your next move, in terms of diagnosis and screening. Genetic Testing for Celiac Disease is a screening option that carries a number of advantages.

• Many people who are concerned that they may be celiac opt to follow a gluten-free diet in an effort to manage their symptoms. However, if the DNA test rules out celiac disease, you can reintroduce gluten into your diet.
• It is important to know that having a close relative who is celiac means that you face an increased risk of also developing the disease, as it is known that it can be inherited.
• Only by undergoing Genetic Testing for Celiac Disease will you be able to establish if you carry the genes associated with celiac disease.
• One commonly used test for celiac disease is to test the antibodies in the blood. However, even if you do suffer from the condition, this type of test can only be successfully carried out if you are currently eating foods containing gluten. A genetic test can be run irrespective of what diet you are currently following and at any age.

Standard Test ($99): Analyzes the two most common genetic markers (DQ2.5*02 and DQ8) associated with celiac disease. This test can be used for:

• Supporting positive serology or biopsy results.
• Clarifying complex diagnoses.
• Developing a personalized prevention plan.

Extended Test ($129): Analyzes 16 genetic markers, offering additional benefits:

• Determining your individual celiac disease risk.
• Identifying the genetic makeup of celiac relatives.
• Ruling out celiac disease with a negative result.

Test Results and Next Steps:

• A positive standard test (at least one marker not low susceptibility) requires further confirmation through serology, biopsy, or the extended test, which assigns a risk classification (high to very low).
• A negative standard test (both markers show low susceptibility) suggests a very low likelihood of celiac disease (over 99% negative predictive value).
• A negative extended test is even more conclusive, effectively ruling out celiac disease altogether.
