This company got me the the answer I needed during what has been one of the most stressful times of my life. To have someone tell you after 12/13 years a child is yours and then turn on you and threaten you was horrible. I can now get back on with my life with my family. Thank you EasyDNA

Key Features of the Celiac Disease Genetic​ Test

  • Accurate
  • Easy-To-Use Test Kit
  • Fast
  • Accredited

Our Celiac Disease Genetic testing is an extremely accurate test that will help you determine whether you have a genetic predisposition to celiac disease. All of our tests meet international testing standards and guarantee maximum accuracy.

Our DNA testing kit will contain all you require to perform the test. We will send you oral swabs to rub on the inside of your mouth in order to collect cheek cells; hence, you will not need to go through painful blood sampling. All our kits contain comprehensive instructions. You can see online how easy it is to collect your DNA Samples. 

Collect DNA Sample

Results will be issued within 3-4 weeks from receipt of your samples at the laboratory. These are sent to you by email unless otherwise requested (additional charges may apply).

All home tests are performed by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory which has performed over 250,000 DNA tests to date. You can, therefore, rest assured that your test is being performed under the strictest of guidelines.

About This Test

The Celiac disease genetic test will confirm whether you carry the genes involved in celiac disease and will effectively rule out the disease with an accuracy of 99%. Results for this test are ready in 10-15 working days from the receipt of samples at the laboratory.

Why is a celiac disease genetic test the better option?

If you suspect you have Celiac disease you may have considered your options in terms of the screening and diagnostic tests available. Genetic testing for Celiac disease is a screening test that offers several advantages:

1. Many clients taking this test follow a gluten-free diet but may not necessarily be celiac – in this case, the symptoms associated with celiac disease are not caused by eating gluten and following a gluten free diet is useless.

2. If you have a first degree relative who is celiac you are at a higher risk of developing the disease due to the fact the disease can be inherited. You have a 5-10% chance of inheriting the gene if you have a family member who has celiac disease. Only a genetic test such as this can confirm whether you have the genes implicated in celiac disease.

3. A common test for celiac disease is antibody blood testing. If you are celiac, this test can only be used if you are actually eating food containing gluten. A genetic test for celiac disease can be carried out at any time, at any age and irrespective of the type of diet you are on.

4. Celiac disease genetic testing does not require a blood draw. Blood draws can be uncomfortable for some besides requiring a phlebotomist. The celiac disease test is done by means of the mouth swabs you find inside our kit. The self-sampling procedure just requires a few simple steps and precautions.

Testing options – Standard and Extended Testing

The Standard test determines the two alleles belonging to the HLA family related to celiac disease. The DQ2.5*02 genetic variant, present in 90-95% of celiac subjects, and the DQ8, *0302 genetic variant, present in the remaining 10-5% of celiac subjects are evaluated. The cost of the standard test is $99.

We also offer an Extended test where we will test 16 markers in the HLA system for an additional $30.

Standard Testing

The test on 2 genetic markers can be used for the following purposes in the diagnosis of Celiac Disease:

* To derive complex diagnoses in case there are interpretative difficulties between serology and biopsy.

* To confirm a diagnostic test.

* For an adequate preventive strategy.

Extended Testing

The test on 16 genetic markers in addition to the points above has also the following purposes:

* To exclude the disease in case of a negative result.

* To determine your “risk” of developing celiac disease.

* To determine the HLA structure of the relatives of the celiac.

Celiac genes

The HLA DQ2 and DQ8 are the 2 genes which we most often observe in people with celiac disease. These 2 genes are the most common although not the only potential gene involved in celiac disease. HLA stands for Human Leukocyte Antigen. HLA produces a protein which holds any foreign material (such as small foreign particles, viruses or bacteria) on the surface of the cell. In the case of individuals carrying defective HLA genes, the body is unable to correctly distinguish gluten from HLA which results in an auto-immune reaction.

How serious is celiac disease?

The effects of celiac disease will vary depending on:

* How long you have had celiac disease.

* Your age.

* How long you have been exposed to gluten (sometimes unknowingly through hidden gluten in foods).

There is no treatment for celiac disease – If you are celiac, you will have to follow a gluten-free diet to a T. There is no way of preventing the damage caused to the mucosa of the small intestine other than by avoiding gluten. Careful monitoring by a health care provider will be required once you begin your gluten-free diet. Please read our Health and Clinical Terms & Conditions HERE carefully and make sure you understand them before ordering this test.

Other Health Tests: Lactose Intolerance DNA Test

Do you experience discomfort after consuming dairy products such as milk or ice cream? If so, then you might be interested in the lactose intolerance test. This particular test establishes whether you carry a certain gene mutation which makes you unable to produce the enzyme required to digest lactose. Read more about the Lactose Intolerance DNA Test.

We also offer a wide range of DNA Health tests that can provide you with a great number of insights into your health and genetics.
