What does this test HLA Celiac Disease (DQ2 & DQ8) Test identify?

HLA Celiac Disease (DQ2 & DQ8) Test

The HLA Celiac Disease (DQ2 & DQ8) Test is a genetic test that identifies the presence of specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) markers known as DQ2 and DQ8. These markers are strongly associated with an increased risk of developing celiac disease.

Individuals who carry the HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 markers are at a higher risk of developing celiac disease compared to those who do not carry these markers. However, it is important to note that not all individuals with these markers will develop celiac disease, as there are other factors involved in the development of the condition.

The test is typically recommended for individuals who have a family history of celiac disease or who are experiencing symptoms of celiac disease, such as gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. By identifying the presence of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 markers, healthcare providers can better assess a person's risk of developing celiac disease and determine if further diagnostic testing is necessary.

Why is this test HLA Celiac Disease (DQ2 & DQ8) Test taken?

The HLA Celiac Disease (DQ2 & DQ8) Test is taken to help diagnose celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine and is triggered by the ingestion of gluten. The test specifically looks for the presence of the HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes, which are strongly associated with celiac disease.
