Type 1 diabetes and celiac disease linked
2009-01-29 01:59:00 Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes and celiac disease appear to share a common genetic origin, scientists at the University of Cambridge and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, have confirmed. Their findings, which are reported in this week's edition of the New England Journal (NEJM), identified seven chromosome regions which are shared between the two diseases. The research suggests that type 1 diabetes and celiac disease may be caused by common underlying mechanisms such as autoimmunity-related tissue damage and intolerance to dietary antigens (foreign substances which prompt an immune response)........

New changes in Prometheus celiac disease DQ genetic reporting help determin
2008-02-09 23:24:00 Prometheus Therapeutics and Diagnostics has modified their celiac genetics testing and reporting. They are now including the number of copies of DQ2 and DQ8. Along with the DQ results they also include a table that summarizes the risk of celiac disease over the general population. Previously Prometheus only reported the presence or absence of DQ2 or DQ8. If you happened to be positive for both DQ2 and DQ8 then we knew your entire DQ pattern. However, if you only had one copy of either or two copies of one the results had less value for determining your risk of celiac disease, its severity and the possible risk of your parents and children for having at least one copy of the at risk genes predisposing to celiac disease. Now Prometheus provides a very detailed report of the DQ2 and DQ8 genes detected along with an estimate of your risk of celiac disease. They also include a table that summarizes the various at risk DQ patterns and their relative risk compared to the general populatio...

Update on genetics of celiac disease
2008-02-04 07:53:00 Genetic tests exist for Celiac disease and are highly accurate for determining the risk of the disease. When a complete genetic panel is performed the possibility that someone having or ever getting Celiac disease can be determined to an extremely high degree of certainty. Unfortunately, some tests are misleading because they do not include a portion of the genetic pattern that may be present that can predispose to the disease yet the report may imply absence of increased risk. Some tests can be done without a doctor’s order. Insurance coverage for the tests is highly variable. A couple of laboratories can run the tests on samples obtained from a mouth swab that is painless and well accepted by children. Genetic testing can be done at any age whereas blood tests for Celiac disease are not recommended before a year of age. Celiac disease genetic tests are not influenced by whether one is eating or not eating gluten. If you do not have the commonly recognized genetic patterns associ...
