DQ2 (encoded by alleles DQA1*0501 or *0505 plus DQB1*0201 or *0202) and DQ8

(encoded in part by DQB1*0302).

Expected to see the letters HLA mentioned.

Of course, the REAL issue w/ the celiac genetic testing is that it just isn't

all that nailed down yet.

~30% of the population HAS the genes for celiac, and 97% of the people w/ the

genes never develop it.

There's also some single-digit % of biopsy-confirmed celiacs who have NEITHER of

the " main celiac genes " .

There are several good articles @ http://www.celiac.com & discussions at the

celiac forum http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/
