Help Understanding Genetic Portion


eswni

Recommended Posts

eswni Newbie

I would like some help in understanding my results from the 23andme test. I am being told that I have 2 copies of a genetic variant that was tested. The variants were detected in the HLA-DQA1 gene. "We detected two copies of a variant linked to the HLA-DQ2.5 haplotype." Do do these results mean? In the HLA-DQ2.5 - HLA-DQa1 - rs2187668 - there are two TT. 

 

Is this bad?

Is this what is mean by having homozygous hla dqa2.5?

 

I am new to all of this and am just looking for some answers. I am concerned about being at risk for celiac disease. Thanks!

Welcome! 

I am not a doctor nor did I ever have genetic testing, but in all my research, genetic testing for celiac disease is to help RULE IT OUT and not to diagnose.  Why?  Some 30% (or more) of the population have the genes that could develop into celiac disease.  COULD.  It is not common.  So, you have a slight chance of developing celiac disease in your lifetime.  Will it happen?  Who knows? 

The good news is that if you suspect celiac disease, you can ask your doctor to order some blood tests to see if you are producing antibodies for celiac disease.  Learn more here about testing and to back up my statements:

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
