The Dq1 Gene

I have been reading and thinking about everyone and their enterolab test. I seem to find that most of us that have a dq1 gene have malabsorption when we get tested threw enterolab. Has anyone else noticed this.

So if you have the dq1, what was your malabsorption score.

I only carry one and had i think 374 i would have to look it up, but my stepson had no malabsorption but the celiac gene wiht dq1, i just find it odd that dq1 seem to have an high malabsorption compared to others.

what do others think about this.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but since it's about double DQ1, which I am as well, I hope you don't mind. I had a mildly elevated malabsorption score (346), but in addition to this question of malabsorption, I'm wondering if any of you know of any further characteristics associated with double DQ1. I've heard it's associated with neurological symptoms, but I don't really know what that means. Anyone know anything further about this or any other problems related to these genes? I'm trying to learn as much as I can about the genetics of this, so any input would be helpful.

I can't answer this question with any level of authority. But, my daughter is a very cranky, uncooperative, DRAMATIC little girl on gluten. I mean hysterics of gargantuan proportions, completely inappropriate for her age. When we started the diet, her true personality came back.

Here are a couple abstracts. I don't know if the disorders mentioned exhaust the possibilities of neurological reactions to gluten. Probably not. I recall seeing one article, I think it was by the doctor here with the long name that mentioned the prevalence of DQ1 in the population he was examining, not just the typical "celiac genes." I don't recall him mentioning double DQ1, though. I wish I could figure out how I got access to that article for free one time! I should have printed it or bookmarked it.

My son is a double DQ1, and he was in the low 300 range. He has been dairy and wheat free for over a year and now we are pulling out gluten.

It is interesting to read how many dq1 people have malabsorption scores that are high or above the 300 mark. It just makes me wonder if maybe we have some sort of diease that is not proven yet but correlates with celiac. I am having a hard time putting what im thinking into words here. Im still ercovering from being glutened this week. When i can think more clearly i will type it all out. But do oyu all think, or am i just pulling at straws trying to figure this out.

Single DQ1 gene.....malabsorption score = 912.

Even though Enterolab tests were positive (IgA and tTG) the cause of malabsorption was/is unrelated to gluten. Not to say that gluten didnt contribute...but there were other issues causing the malabsorption in my case.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
