Confirm whether you carry the DQ2.5 02 genetic variant, present in 90-95 of coeliac subjects and the DQ8, 0302 genetic variant, genes associated with an increased risk of coeliac disease. Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-typing is used to confirm or exclude the possibility of coeliac disease. Test DQ2.5 02 and DQ8, 0302 genetic variants Negative results for both genetic variants make a coeliac disease diagnosis highly unlikely. The negative predictive value is greater than 99 . DNA testing will work irrespective of your current diet. A gluten free diet is not required to take this test. Needs only mouth swab samples, no blood required. Results provided in 5-7 working days from receipt of samples. NOTE: This is not a diagnostic test. Even if the test results confirm that you carry the genes known to increase the risk of coeliac disease it does not mean you suffer from it, or will ever develop it. If you do not carry the genes you will not develop coeliac disease. The sample collection kit contains 4 x sterile mouth swabs, welcome letter, step-by-step sample collection instructions, client registration form, consent form and return envelope. Instructions Collect cheek cells by rolling the tip of the sample collection swab firmly on the inside of the right cheek and under the tongue for about 30 seconds. Be certain to move the swab over the entire inner cheek surface. This action should be firm but not aggressive and should not be uncomfortable. Light pressure is adequate. This procedure is totally painless. Repeat with the other swabs. Place the swab envelope, plus the completed consent form, into the return envelope. Then simply return to us. Please contact us with any questions.RESULTS PROVIDED IN 10-15 WORKING DAYS from receipt of samples. COMPLETE TESTING KIT: The sample collection kit contains 4 x sterile mouth swabs, welcome letter, step-by-step sample collection instructions, client registration form, consent form a return envelope. SIMPLE EASY SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCESS: The DNA test kit includes step-by-step instructions with full customer support so the mouth swab samples can be easily collected at home, no blood required. With the latest advances in genetic science, it's no longer necessary to visit a doctor to undergo the DNA testing. HOW IT WORKS: Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-typing is used to confirm or exclude the possibility of coeliac disease. The test examines the two alleles belonging to the HLA family related to coeliac disease. The DQ2.5 02 genetic variant, present in 90-95 of coeliac subjects and the DQ8, 0302 genetic variant, present in the remaining 5-10 of coeliac subjects are evaluated. The DNA test effectively rules out ( 99 ) the disease if no HLA-DQ2 DQ8 risk types are detected. OVER 99.99 ACCURATE COELIAC TEST: Confirm whether you carry the main genes associated with an increased risk of coeliac disease. Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-typing is used to confirm or exclude the possibility of coeliac disease. DNA testing will work irrespective of your current diet. A gluten free diet is not required to take this test.
