Lab Tests Results Questions

I had the HLA Typing tests.

DR, DRB1, 04 and 07

DQ, DQB1, 02 and 08

HLA DR2 antigen, nor either of its splits (DR15, and DR16) was not detected (negative).

HLA DQ6 antigen was not detected (negative).

Why are the antigens different than the DR and DQ types listed? I was confused on the results.

I also had:

Total IgA 116 mg/dL (range 81-463)

Tissue Transglutaminase AB, IgG <3 (range <7 negative, 7-10 equivocal, >10 positive)

Thank you.

Sounds like some type of serotyping was done.

The wiki on celiac HLA DQ typing explains a bit about serotyping vs electropheresis etc.

About the mystic DR15 and 16 not detected answer, see Open Original Shared Link

that could mean they tested for DQ5 and 6.

Thank you for the links.

My doctor said he was ordering the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests. The remarks section doesn't seem to mention those tests. I'm not sure if they did the right tests.

It mentions HLA Typing at the top.

DQ

DQB1

02

08

Is that the same as HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8?

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      Worried about being isolated

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      Worried about being isolated

      By trents · Posted

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:
