Thank you for responding. Her IgA levels were undetectable (<0.1). The doctor tried to get “quantatative IgA” with the second bloodwork we did, but again it just came back as <0.1. By stunted growth I mean she is in 3%ile for weight and she had a hand bone scan done two years ago which showed her bone growth as 2 years behind. They said thi...

My 7 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with IgA deficiency and a positive IgG tTG blood test (after a false IgA test).

Well I saw the doc yesterday and he says OHIP does not cover genetic testing. He did however say he thought they might be changing that come the new year, so I will wait until then before I spend my money on the test!

I want to get genetically tested for celiac, as my blood test came back negative but my doctor thinks I still may be celiac following an endoscopy. I would like to do the genetic testing and have seen that they cost around $400 yikes! Does anyone know if genetic testing is covered in Canada? I am from Ontario if that makes a difference. Thanks!
