Celiac disease

Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, is a genetic autoimmune disease. Gluten is a component of most cereals and foods made from these cereals. In people with celiac disease, gluten causes inflammation of the small intestine lining, reducing its ability to digest and absorb nutrients. Genetic analysis will reveal whether you have a predisposition to the disease, or it may help to make a final diagnosis.

HOW DOES THE WHOLE PROCESS WORK?

After ordering the test, you will receive an email with detailed information. A DNA sample is most often obtained through an oral swab or blood sample. You can perform the oral swab yourself in the comfort of your own home using a collection kit which will be sent to you by mail together with instructions and other documents. You can have your blood drawn at your local physician's office or at our outpatient clinic. The result of the analysis will be sent to you by e-mail or by post as agreed. In the case of a positive result, we recommend an appointment for a genetic consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHO IS THE TEST SUITABLE FOR?

The mutation of this gene is 20% hereditary, so it is recommended especially for people with a family history of the disease. HLA-DQ typing is recommended in patients with unclear diagnosis, in groups with increased risk of celiac disease - i.e. direct relatives of patients with confirmed celiac disease, patients with diseases associated with celiac disease (e.g. type I DM).

WHAT CAN THIS TEST REVEAL?

35% of people have risk alleles in their genes, which the test helps to detect. It also helps to rule out celiac disease in unclear cases and to determine the predisposition to the disease.

HOW DOES THE TEST WORK?

Genetic testing is performed on a sample of your DNA, which is painless and takes no more than five minutes to collect. It can be obtained by oral swab or blood collection. It's up to you which option you choose.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE THE TEST RESULTS?

You will receive your results within 10 days of obtaining your DNA sample.
