Genetic Testing

This is actually a question for a friend of mine who may have Celiac. She got her genetic test results back today but will not see a dr to go over them for another week. The results were: DQ2 negative and DQ8 positive, genetic risk 1:89 (moderate). Does anyone know what this means and if she may have the gene? Thanks so much!

She has DQ8, which is one of the celiac genes. Moderate risk means that her copy of DQ8 gives her more risk for celiac than the general population.

Possessing a specific gene does not insure development of Celiac. Thirty percent of the general population carry these genes and never trigger Celiac Disease.

We have a long way to go for genetic testing and reasons for the sudden unset of this disease.

Gene testing, blood testing, endoscopy and dietary results are a cumulative diagnostic result.

      Kan-101

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
