DNA Results Interpretation

Hello! I'm new to joining but have found a lot of helpful info here. I'm hoping I can get some help understanding these SNPs? I did 23 and me and I'm a little confused. I searched for these SNPs in my data (per an article online) and am still a little unsure of their link to celiac? I've been gluten free for a few months and really, truly don't want to do a gluten challenge but still hopeful for maybe a little insight from DNA. Does simply having them mean something or just the allele results?

Doesn't look anything like my actual test for Celiac genes.  You might want to read more about 23 and me.  Not sure they look for the actual Celiac genes?  Not sure how it is now, but I think I remember when they came out they couldn't actually tell you medical things?  They were always a bit sketchy.

Thanks for your reply, kareng! Your 23 and me results don't really tell you much. However, you can download the raw data from there and use programs like prometheus to interpret it. I was interested in finding out if my data indicated a likelihood or possibility of celiac as I've never had any testing but am still a bit confused. Those SNP's are linked to celiac, and I have them, but I am unsure if simply having them means anything at all versus T/T, G/G, etc.

Do those numbers correspond to an actual gene?  

 

Having genes for Celiac don't mean much.  About 30% of people have at least 1 but only about 1% develope Celiac disease.

I have the same gene.  From what I can tell, it is a non-HLA gene that has been found in people with celiac.  This confuses me because (from reading posts on this site) if you are HLA negative you can't have celiac.  Maybe there is a genetic counselor that can explain it???  Here is a link to more information.  Open Original Shared Link

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Thankyou because I met up with K B with well known bay area hospital once and she said she knows I don't like to take meds, I said thats incorrect, I have issues.Thats the one that said I was deemed " unruly " when she admitted I was celiac when I asked why am I going through this.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
