Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic gluten-intolerance that occurs in genetically predisposed
individuals. The InVite® Celiac Panel tests two particular genes called DQA1 and DQB1, and
each person has two copies of both genes, one from each parent. The test evaluates several
different variations (alleles) of these genes to give an overall assessment of risk for
developing celiac disease over a person’s lifetime. Some of the alleles tested carry more risk
than others, with some allele combinations having a higher risk of developing celiac disease
and others having just a small risk. Over 40% of the population carries one or more genetic
markers for celiac disease but only 1% of the population will actually develop celiac
disease. Someone with several of the risk alleles will have increased risk for developing
celiac disease.
