Trying To Understand How To Read These Results

Can anyone help me figure out this genetic panel? These are my son's results. I know he has a very high chance of having celiac disease, and his doctor believes that he does in fact have it, she diagnosed him already. I'd just like to know what each of these things stand for.

Thanks for any help.

002.5 (HLA OOA1*05:00B1"(201) and other non-risk alleles.

Category 4, DQ2 heterozygous, Increased Risk 10X, Relative Risk HIGH

Category 8, DQ2 Homozygous, Increased Risk 31X, Relative Risk EXTREMELY HIGH

Category 7, DQ2/other high risk gene, Increased Risk 16X, Relative Risk VERY HIGH

Category 6, DQ2/DQ8, Increased Risk 14X, Relative Risk VERY HIGH

Category 5, DQ8 Homozygous, Increased Risk 10X, Relative Risk HIGH

Category 4, DQ2 heterozygous, Increased Risk 10X, Relative Risk HIGH

Category 3, DQ8 heterozygous, Increased Risk 2X, Relative Risk MODERATE

What do/does the other risk alleles mean? I don't understand that part at all.

Thanks for any help!

He has one risk allele, DQ2.5, and one non-risk allele which hasn't been specified. That gives him 10x risk for celiac with respect to the general US population.

I'm not sure what else you're asking. What do you mean by "each of these things"? Is this article helpful?

      I’m having a terrible time with my employer on this, they put me in an office next to where everyone places food for the department and have reactions when foods containing gluten are present. I’m extreme celiac and have a reaction in some bakery isles at the grocery store. Airborne gluten reactions are real in my world.

      Thank you for the update.  At least now you know what you are dealing with.  Is the system similar to that in the UK in that you will have a follow-up with the gastroenterologist where you can ask any questions you have, and also a referral to a nutritionist?

      We just had his diagnosis confirmed. The biopsy showed Marsch 3B.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      With patients who are experiencing ear ringing and ear pain I first want to make sure there is not any kind of ear infective process verified by your primary care. The next thing that I see as a dentist who treats a lot of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), is that the jaw joint can be having a problem that causes the ringing to happen. My primary care physicians here in Colorado Springs will refer these patients to me for evaluation when they don’t find any source of infection with the ear. We are able to treat with a specific type of mouth splint and get resolution of the ringing and ear pain as we resolve the TMJ problem.  First a visit to your primary care to make sure your inner and outer ear is infection free. And if it is clean, a visit to a dentist who treats TMJ disorders.

      One thing I ought to add is that although any new medical condition diagnosis can come as a huge shock/blow, navigating the gluten free diet will one day become second nature to you all  Yes, mistakes occur on the way, but it will get easier.  A few things that have helped me on my journey: 1/ My husband has said to me a few times, and I think it helps. I should to try think of all the food I CAN still eat.  So much natural, unprocessed food, is gluten free, and a whole lot of processed and canned goods available in the supermarkets, too.  I can still eat Heinz Baked Beans and Tomato Soup, for example, and a lot of oven chips are gluten free.  Not all chocolate and candy contains gluten.  Excellent gluten free substitutes now exist in the supermarkets and I've lost count of the times I've been eating a product and shared it with a friend, and they have loved it.  Gluten-free doesn't mean taste free.  A lot of gluten-free substitutes are just as good as the 'real thing'. 2/ As time has gone by, I have met more and more coeliacs and other people who react strongly to gluten. This will happen to your son in time, and it often helps to be able to chat with someone who walks a similar path.  I now have over a dozen such buddies and we share tips and recipes, and also recommend 'safe' restaurants and cafes to each other.   3/ Family support.  It is good if you can offer a safe haven at home.  My family aren't coeliacs, but the only things they eat that are not gluten free is shop bought bread and pies, and occasionally biscuits and we keep them very separate.  The rest of the time we cook with gluten free substitutes and all eat the same.  I have always been a keen cake baker and my daughter who is not a coeliac actually prefers the crumbly texture of gluten free flour, so she always uses that, even outside the home.  You can spend lots of time cooking and baking with your son, he'll acquire a new skill, and without wishing to boast, if his cakes are as good as mine he will never be short of friends!!  My daughter has quite a following at Uni, and I don't think they realise that her cakes are even gluten-free! I hope some of this serves to encourage you. Cristiana
