TOWN HALL: Answering FAQs and Exploring New RESEARCH on CELIAC Disease GENETIC TESTING and BIOPSIES

[@Corvin_]

Thanks for the update, wish we had more regular updates on all the drugs that are under development.

[@BeyondCeliac]

Our January Town Hall will do an update on the current state of drug development and research! Registration coming soon.

I have all the symptoms of celiac I have dq8 , my test where all negative but I did notice gliadin going halfway almost at 19

[@JBgoodiebag]

I think they should use the genetics test and patient reported symptoms

[@LorraineKrueger-o3b]

What about HLA DQA1:05 allele also known as Celiac Type 1? What about Celiac 2.5?

Fantastic presentation, and so informative!!

I was diagnosed by biopsy via endoscopy in 2010 when I was 14 with celiac disease. I recently had a gene test after seeing on my 23 and me I didn't have the genes for celiac - did another genetic test and was told I didn't have celiac disease. I'm very confused. 12 year diagnoses.. now being told I never had it due to 1 test.

I had a genetic test done and it said I didn’t have the gene, then I did a whole genome and was surprised to see “increased risk of celiac 4”. Weird. Are the genetic tests not always accurate? Are there new genes being found?

@@athenacontreras what company did your genome test? How did you have that done ?

My family, parents and 3 siblings all did 23 and Me genetic testing and are confirmed related. Only I test positive for Celiac. Can you explain why this is? I am the second child in the family.

Can you have HLA DQA1 *05 and I have DH as well. It went away when I quit eating all grains. Is this Celiac 2.5?
