Which tests are included?
This genetic test checks for the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes associated with coeliac disease. A negative result virtually rules out coeliac disease, while a positive result indicates genetic susceptibility but not a diagnosis.
Which tests are included?
Why choose this test?
This genetic test identifies the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes, which are strongly associated with coeliac disease — an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. While carrying these genes does not mean you have coeliac disease, their absence makes the condition highly unlikely, making this test valuable for ruling it out with confidence.
It’s ideal for individuals experiencing digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, fatigue, or autoimmune symptoms, especially if they’re already following a gluten-free diet and standard antibody tests may be inconclusive. This test helps determine genetic susceptibility, guiding further testing or dietary management for optimal digestive and immune health.
About these tests
HLA-DQ2: Detects a specific genetic marker associated with an increased risk of coeliac disease, found in most people who develop the condition.
