Help about genetic test results

Hi everyone. Sorry for my bad english. The test results are like these

DQB1*02     normal

DQA1*05     positive

DQB1*03:02   negative

DQA1*03         negative

What does "DQB1*02   normal" mean ?

Thanks.

"celiac disease has a multifactorial inheritance, so it does not depend on specific mutations of a single gene but it is caused by a combination of environmental factors and variations in multiple genes [18,19]."

To answer your question, I think "normal" means it is not a variant of that gene associated wit the development of celiac disease. I think "positive" would mean you have a gene or a variant of it associated with celiac disease and negative would mean you don't have that gene or a variant of it at all? Believe me when I say that I am far from being an expert in this field. Hopefully, someone on the forum who is knowledgeable in this area will join in.

I agree with @trents, but be sure to ask your doctor what it means so you can be sure. 

Since you did genetic tests for celiac disease have you also had blood tests done for it?

I haven't had a blood test yet, but I will have it done as soon as possible.

You are not already cutting back on gluten are you? You should be eating normal, even generous amounts of gluten for weeks before the blood test and also before the biopsy if that is ordered as a follow-up to the blood testing.

I'm eating more gluten than usual before the test.

I found this article very interesting...

Not a doctor.

      Perhaps you'll need to mix your own cocktails?

      Your son has two positive blood tests for celiac disease, plus a positive biopsy for it...why hasn't your doctor diagnosed him with celiac disease, which is the most likely diagnosis based on the test results you shared? The next step should be a gluten-free diet, which your doctor already recommended.

      I am glad to hear you are not taking acid blocking meds as they increase gut PH which inhibits mineral absorption which, in turn, often causes the body to rob it's own bones of the calcium it needs for various metabolic processes. I was asking about that because acid reflux is very common in the celiac community.

      I am not taking anything except for the multivitamins that I purchased from the supermarket.

      This is what my Cardiologist prescribed for my weight.  My husband is prescribed 10,000 units.  When I say prescribed I do not mean a prescription is needed, just that the 2 respective dosages are what he ordered according to our size/weight.  My cardiologist is accepted as one of Houston's leading cardiologists.
