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?

cagry Newbie

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.

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I feel like I need more support than that...

      Yes,  Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out.  None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP  132/67 for Oct 21 - 26.  Lowest was 100/59. High 157/62.
