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

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
