Overview: Coeliac Disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the consumption of gluten in susceptible individuals, leading to damage in the small intestine. It’s often undiagnosed, with an estimated 70% of people unaware that they are affected. Our Coeliac Genetic Test allows you to find out whether you carry the genetic markers associated with this condition, helping you make informed decisions about your health.
What’s Included:
At-Home Saliva Collection Kit: Collect your sample comfortably at home without the need for a clinic visit.
Genetic Testing: The test screens for the presence of the HLA-DQ risk markers (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8), which are commonly associated with Coeliac Disease. These markers indicate your genetic predisposition, not the presence of the disease itself.
Test Process:
Collect your saliva sample using our easy-to-use kit, following the included instructions.
Send your sample back for laboratory analysis.
Receive your results directly to your inbox, including your genetic predisposition to Coeliac Disease.
Who Should Take This Test:
Individuals with a family history of Coeliac Disease or gluten intolerance.
Those experiencing digestive issues such as bloating, diarrhoea, fatigue, and weight loss.
Anyone interested in understanding their genetic risk for Coeliac Disease before symptoms appear.
Key Benefits:
Early Risk Identification: Detect genetic predisposition to Coeliac Disease early, even before symptoms appear.
Non-Invasive: Convenient saliva sample collection from the comfort of your home.
Informed Health Decisions: Take action by modifying your diet and lifestyle to prevent the onset of symptoms and potential complications.

WHY GET TESTED
Coeliac Disease can take years to diagnose because its symptoms often resemble those of other digestive issues, such as IBS. It is commonly misdiagnosed, with individuals typically experiencing fatigue, stomach discomfort, bloating, diarrhoea, or weight loss before receiving a diagnosis. However, the key to early intervention lies in understanding your genetic risk.
This simple test allows you to discover whether you carry the HLA-DQ genetic markers, which are present in the majority of individuals with Coeliac Disease. If you carry these markers, you may have a higher risk of developing the disease, especially if you have a family history or experience symptoms. Early detection means that, by making dietary changes, you can prevent further complications associated with the condition, including malnutrition, infertility, and increased risk of certain cancers.
Coeliac Disease is often mistaken for other conditions and can go undiagnosed for years, leading to a delay in receiving proper treatment. Knowing whether you're genetically predisposed can empower you to seek proper medical advice and take action before symptoms develop into more severe health issues.
