Dna Results: How To Interpret Results/super Celiac-And Double Dq2?

Hi All,

First- THANKS to all who post and answer on this incredible forum! Second- HELP please with interpreting DNA results. My Quest lab results just came in, "typing by PCR and hybridization with sequence specific oligonucleotide probes (sso)." It states:

HLA-DQ2

(DQA1*05/DQB1*02) Positive

HLA-DQ8

(DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) Negative

HLA-DQA1* 02

HLA-DQA1* 05

HLA-DQB1* 0201

HLA-DQB1* 0202

The lab report concludes I am positive for "one of the variants of HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease" but aren't there more than just the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8? Also- does it look like I have two varients of HLA-DQ2??????

How do I figure out what the serological equivalent is, and the subtype (x,x) is? Do I have a homozygous or heterozygous genetic expression here? (Both parents, or one parent carried the genes for celiac disease?) I'm so confused.....

My sister said she tested positive for two. I'm trying to get her lad report too to compare.

Thanks to the experts who have posted in the past on genetic results. I searched the forum and didn't quite see this one posted, so thanks in advance for your help!

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
