Need Help With Enterolab Results For My Kids

[texasmama]

Here are my two boys' results. John is 5 and Nathan is 7. Hubby, my youngest dd and I are being tested through Enterolab but no results yet. We have gone gluten-free. My family history includes my dad and paternal grandmother as celiacs. Questions: What are my boys' DQ genes? (subtypes confuse me.) Would both be considered celiacs? In order for them to get the genes they did, it appears that either hubby or I have double celiac genes, too, right? What a big puzzle this is! Thank you for any feedback and help.

John

A) Gluten Sensitivity Stool and Gene Panel Complete

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 17 (Normal Range <10 Units)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 17 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

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

Fecal anti-casein (cow

John

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0302

Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,3 (Subtype 2,8)

Nathan

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201

HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 0201

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

They both have double celiac genes, so one from each of you.

That would be considered DQ2 and DQ8, using the subtypes.

Thank you for your help. that is what I thought, but the subtypes and different numbers threw me off.

Based on the positive antibody results and the double celiac genes, can I fairly call them celiacs? Not that it matters in some regards since we are gluten free regardless of what we call it but I am trying to wrap my mind around it and knowing how to categorize it will help me, I think.
