I have just read that there are genetic markers for CD. And that they can be
used, in conjunction with other tests to rule OUT CD but not to confirm that
one has CD. More than 90 percent to Celiacs have these markers according
the article I just read.

My question: Has anyone on this list done the genetic testing? What were the
results and were the costs prohibitive?
