Help Understanding Test Results


Sarabethy

Recommended Posts

I'm a newbie here and recently have undergone some testing for Celiac Disease. If anyone could help me understand some of these test results, I would greatly appreciate it. A little background information, I have been off of gluten completely for 4 years and have been tested positive for a gluten allergy. I have some other health issues and my doctor recently ran the Celiac disease HLA DQ test (results of which I need help interpreting). It appears negative, but I have a few alleles (I think?) and they ran a celiac panel. Celiac panel was normal, but since I have been off gluten for 4 years now, according to my understanding that test isn't completely accurate if you aren't actively eating gluten.

Celiac Disease HLA DQ:

DQ2 (DQA1 0501/0505, DQB1 02XX) Negative

DQ8 (DQA1 03XX, DQB1 0302) Negative

Final Results:

DQA1*01:MV, 05:EF

DQB1*03: JVYH, 05:01

Code Translation:

JVYH 01/27/28/29/35

MV 01/04/05

EF 05/09

The Patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer. The Celiac Disease risk from the HLA DQA/DQB genotype is approximately 1:1842 (0.05%)....etc.

So what I see is that I am negative for this, but what do these alleles mean? Do they mean anything to me?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
