Need Help With Hla-Dq Testing


Nay44

Recommended Posts

Nay44 Newbie

I was just diagnosed with Celiac from blood work of >than 100 on TTg, 58.1 on IgG and 78.8 on IgA. Also had HLA-DQ typing done and these were the results which I need help with interpretation.

DQ alpha 1: 05:01,05

DQ beta 1: 02:01,03

Celiac gene pairs present: Yes

What are the genes that I have? Did they check for DQ2 and DQ8. I know you have two copies of the DQ gene so trying to figure out what mine are from the above findings. The tests were performed at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

I do not have any major gastro systems and don't feel sick after eating gluten. I was complaining of fatigue and feeling bloated so doctor ran celiac panel. Couldn't believe it. Had scope done last week but no results yet. Doctor said he saw scalloping of the 2nd and 3rd duodenum??? Have been gluten free for 5 days....

Please help. Had all 3 kids tested and all were negative from the Celiac panel tests. I would think one of them would have it if I have it.

Sorry, I am not a genetic expert -- but others here will help you with that.

The scalloping is a sign of celiac - I believe you will get a positive biopsy report. Some of your kids may well have a celiac gene if you do; if so, it doesn't mean that they will automatically develop the disease - it just shows that they have the propensity to do so. There is generally a trigger which sets it off - physical or emotional stress, for example. The genes are not that uncommon and I believe the majority of the people who carry them do not seem to get celiac disease. You should watch them for symptoms though.

      It is interesting you mentioned that it could be other things because I asked my gastro and she literally said it means nothing else. That that value was only considered for Celiac which is kind of why I asked here because I didn't understand how a celiac only value could be high and it wasn't celiac.

      I did read this article and all it helped me determine was that I am too dumb lol. Plus with DGP IGA 75-95 is a huge range. I was also confused on if it meant 75-95% of people with positive dgp iga have it or if it meant that of 100% of the people that have Celiac 75-95% this value will be positive.  Most of my symptoms are GI related but the other one that stands out is inflammation. It almost felt like I had body aches and I have soreness right now that I don't have when I am on the paleo diet full time (which is gluten free when you never cheat on it, which I was occasionally). My doctor suspected Raynauds but never did a blood test for it, and then I have had ADHD which I can't remember if it...

      Welcome to the forum, @Jo Woodard! The problem with oats is not always cross contamination with gluten from other grains. The main protein found in oats is "avenin" and it has a structure similar to the wheat/barley/rye protein "gluten". It is similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some celiacs. About 10% of celiacs cannot tolerate oats.

      You might find this interesting as it outlines the various antibody tests that can be ordered and rates them for their relative reliability: What symptoms do you experience and how long have you been experiencing them? Do you have any other blood work parameters that are out of range from say a CBC or CMP. For those with celiac disease, the immune system misinterprets gluten as an invader and sends attacking cells into the lining of the small bowel, causing inflammation. Over time, this inflammation wears down the "villi" that line the small bowel, millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that constitute the nutrient absorbing organ of the intestinal track. This can...

      @Scott Adams Thank you for your input- and I do think it’s best for me to just wait a little while before I do gluten challenge for a biopsy. Getting a dietitian is also a good idea.
