Hello fairly new to the sight, and still working on diagnosis.I did a genetics testing results were:

DQA1 0501 (HLA-DQ2) Positive

DQB1 0609 (HLA-DQ1) Positive

DBQ1 0201 (HLA-DQ2) Positive

Can someone help me with interpreting these results? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you..

Seems to me like you have a double copy of the DQ2 gene. I am not sure what the other one is. However, the main ones seen with Celiac are HLA DQ2 and DQ8.

the DQ 1 appears to be tied to the neuro issues....

Thank you, Ive done a lot of reading to understand what these results mean..Its been a long road to get to this point..Ive had no official diagnosis so Its been hard to stay on the diet..My GI doc. said he thought it might be gluten sensitivity after all my test came back negative and said I had IBS and stress. After trying different IBS meds and still not feeling well I decided to get the genetics test done.Ive been dealing with a lot of symptoms now for about 9 yrs..UGH..

I have 2 sons who are adults now but also have a lot of GI issues along with Dairy allergys.

Its just so mind boggleing!..

My husband had the genetics test also and he had 3 copies of DQ 8 which put him at 2x moderate risk for celiac but he also tested positive on two serological tests. I am not really sure if they are all the same  but here is the reference that was on his test results. I believe that the first number is the number of copies of the gene. I hope this helps a bit :)

 

8 DQ2 Homozygous 31X EXTREMELY HIGH
7 DQ2/ot her high risk gene 16X VERY HIGH
6 DQ2/DQ8 14X VERY HIGH
5 DQ8 Homozygous 10X HIGH
4 DQ2 heterozygous 10X HIGH
3 DQ8 heterozygous 2X MODERATE
2 DQ2/other low risk gene <1X LOW
1 DQ2 -, DQ8- <0.1X EXTREMELY LOW

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
