Celiac disease
Celiac disease add-on
This test analyses gene variants that, according to studies, have been found to increase the risk of developing celiac disease.
Celiac disease mainly occurs in the intestines, but sometimes it can also appear on the skin. Celiac disease can be asymptomatic even for years, or it can cause symptoms at some point in life. Celiac disease is not caused by only one, single gene variant. Therefore we are analysing several different gene variants, which according to studies have effects that increase the risk of celiac disease.

Genes analyzed in the Celiac disease add-on:
HLA-DQ2.5, HLA-DQ8, LPP, IL18RAP, CCR3, IL12A, IL2/IL21, SH2B3, TNFA, TNFAIP3
Why choose the Celiac disease add-on test?
In our celiac disease report, we investigate the significant role of HLA-DQ genes, which are T-group white blood cell surface antigens. About 98% of people with celiac disease have some known variant in HLA-DQ genes that increases the risk of celiac disease. In addition to these so-called celiac genes, our analysis includes genes that, in combination with HLA-DQ tissue types that predispose to celiac disease, increase the risk of disease in various ways.
If you have symptoms of celiac disease and/or have genetic variants that increase the risk of celiac disease, we recommend you see a doctor. A doctor will usually diagnose celiac disease using an antibody test and a skin or bowel biopsy.
