Your numbers look very similar to my results, if you subtract the letters that are included. Maybe you used a different lab than I.

Thanks, Colleen! This article from this site (celiac.com) breaks it down even further and apparently its not uncommon to be positive for only one copy of the gene. I am just curious if the results listed indicate which subunit. I do know I'm half positive for DQ2 which is the most significant. And more recent studies I've read suggest other genes are now...

I didn't know either until I got these results back. It's my understanding that there are two subunits to a gene, a beta and an alpha. I believe the results list I received may tell which unit I am positive for. I just don't know how to translate! I found a helpful article on this site from 2008 https://www.celiac.com/articles/21567/1/Ten-Facts-About-Celiac...

Thank you, Colleen. I did miss it. I'm still trying to figure out how to navigate the forums and my own postings! I think I may have also posted my results wrong. The results say I am positive for Half the DQ2 gene and then those other numbers were all listed on the next page.

My results say I am positive for Half the DQ2. And then that paragraph is listed below that. Can you be celiac positive with half a DQ2 gene? Thanks!

Thank you Karen! I agree, gluten is definitely not for me. I could not do a gluten challenge, either. I am just wondering how valuable an actual diagnosis is but you helped answer that. Thanks so much!

Can someone please look at these gene test results and tell me if it's possiblt to have celiac with this result? I was only tested for DQ2 and DQ 8. I am negative DQ 8. I requested the test and my primary doctor called me with the results and told me she thinks I have a very low risk of celiac. She also said she doesnt really know much about celiac and celiac...

This site is amazing and so helpful. I'm always on it but this is my first post. In short, I have been completely gluten free (except for accidental gluttenings) for more than a year. I had a laundry list of symptom for more than ten years and all testing (no Celiac, gluten-intolerance testing was done) showed nothing. I was told for years that I had...
