Meaning Of Enterolab Gene Test Results

[Leonard]

This is my results from Enterolab:

A) Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete *Best test/best value

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 15 (Normal Range <10 Units)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 12 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Quantitative Microscopic Fecal Fat Score <300 Units (Normal Range <300 Units)

Fecal anti-casein (cow’s milk) IgA antibody 13 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 06xx

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,1 (Subtype 2,6)

The first part I can understand but the gene part is a bit confusing. Can someone please help with a short explanation of what it means and what you look for in the gene results.

To my limited understanding of the genes behind celiac disease, it looks like that you have one celiac disease gene, and one gluten sensitivity gene. In other words, you come by having celiac disease honestly.

Ursula is right.

dq2 subtype 2 is celiac, dq1 subtype 6 is a gluten sensitive gene. Dq1 is behind a lot of the neurological symptoms of people from what others have posted on the board.

Thanks guys.

Is there anywhere where one read up a bit on this. Something that is not to technical.
