Genetic test for celiac disease
Celiac disease is a systemic autoimmune disease related to exposure to gluten (a protein found in cereals) in genetically susceptible people.
It is estimated that between 1% and 2% of the European population suffers from the disease to some degree, and it can be diagnosed at any age. The development of the food industry and new habits have caused the number of diagnoses to increase in recent years.
The basis of the disease is the attack of the immune system against the intestinal mucosa and its consequent destruction. The first symptom is poor absorption of nutrients, but if the disease progresses, serious non-intestinal complications often appear (neurological, cutaneous, hepatic…):
– Diarrhea or constipation.
– Abdominal distension and gas.
– Abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting.
– Apathy and tiredness.
– Weight loss.
– Anemia.
– Loss of bone mass and joint pain.
– Headache and neurological symptoms (tingling, numbness, irritability, confusion…)
– Skin rashes.
More than 90% of celiac patients have certain haplotypes (a set of genes that are inherited together) that are directly related to the cellular mechanism that causes the disease, and which are what predispose the individual to develop it.
These genetic markers are: HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8.
With this test you can detect your genetic predisposition to develop the disease.
Advantages:
– Early detection.
– Suitable for babies and children.
– With just a saliva sample.
– High sensitivity.
