What is HLADQA1 and HLADQB1 - CELIAC DISEASE?

This genetic test analyzes specific variants of the HLADQA1 and HLADQB1 genes. These genes are strongly associated with an increased genetic predisposition to celiac disease.

Why is this test important?

While a positive result indicates a genetic predisposition, it does not confirm celiac disease. However, a negative result effectively rules out celiac disease, making it a valuable tool for diagnosis and family screening.
