Hello,
My daughter got her results back from the Enterolab gene test, and it
appears she has DQ2 (a Celiac gene) and DQ1 (a gluten-sensitive gene), yet
her other blood tests (ttg, and other antibody tests done by her
gastroenterologist) were all negative for Celiac disease. Which results
are more valid? Her doctor attributed her symptoms to IBS, and recommended
"relaxation" techniques. But the results from Enterolab seem to be saying
something else. What can be said for certain regarding her results below?
I don't quite understand the meaning of having these genes or the subtypes.
Thank you for any help or ideas.
*
Gluten Sensitivity Gene Test*
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 1 0201
HLA-DQB1 Molecular analysis, Allele 2 06xx
Serologic equivalent: HLA-DQ 2,1 (Subtype 2,6)
