Help With My Daughter's Genetic Test

I've known for several months now that my daughter has the DQ8 gene. I was just looking over her lab results and looking at it it looks like she also has DQ1 but I'm not sure if I'm reading it right, can anyone help me? I'm just curious :)

Her report states

Final Results:

DQA1 0102, 03MN

DQB1 0302, 0602

DQ8 positive

Anyone? If it is DQ1 then she got it from her father and I've been trying to tell him he has a gluten sensitivity but he denies it. If I'm reading this right and it is DQ1 which a couple experts have identified as a gluten sensitive gene then I may have a case against him :P

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.
