Help with genetic testing
The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain ...- 1

I started my gluten-free journey about 13 years ago so I'm not new to this, but every once in a while something hits me hard. My group in the office decided to go to lunch for 2 birthdays and I was thrilled to find out it was at a restaurant that had options for me. No sipping water while I dread questions about why I'm not eating (they know I have celiac, but I think they assume its fine if it's not breaded). I had to run straight from a meeting to this lunch so I made sure I knew where and when it was before going to my meeting and let someone know I would be a few minutes late. I asked the host at the restaurant and he said they only had one group there (it wasn't my group) so I figured they were running late and texted to ask where they were. 20 minutes later I got a text that they decided to change the restaurant (20 minutes before lunch) and just... forgot to tell me I guess. Add to that, the new restaurant was very unsafe for me. Normally I still join anyways, I just eat before we go. But now I would be 30+ minutes late to lunch, hangry because I thought I would get to eat at lunch, and upset at not being notified of the change, so I went home instead of trying to join. Sorry about the long rant, I'm just feeling sad and really hating having celiac today.

The genetic testing results you provided indicate that your child carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 beta chain (DQ Beta 1 *02:01, *02:01), which is a high-risk genetic marker for celiac disease. However, the alpha chain (DQ Alpha 1 *05:01, *05) is only partially present, as HLA-DQ2.5 typically requires the alpha chain *05:01 paired with the beta chain 02:01. Since your child has two copies of the beta chain (02:01) but only one full *05:01 alpha allele (the other appears truncated as *05), this suggests they are heterozygous for HLA-DQ2.5 rather than homozygous. The term "permissive for celiac disease" means your child has genetic susceptibility but not necessarily the highest-risk genotype (homozygous DQ2.5). Since celiac disease development also depends on environmental triggers and other factors, further testing (such as antibody screening or biopsy) may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. Consulting a genetic counselor or gastroenterologist can help clarify these results and next steps.
