You do not carry the HLA-DQ8 gene. DQ8 is the second major genetic risk factor for celiac disease (present in about 5% of celiac patients, usually those who are DQ2-negative).
You do not carry the HLA-DQ8 gene. Combined with DQ2 result, celiac disease is effectively ruled out at the genetic level.
Reassuring result.
HLA-DQ8: negative — gene not detectedHLA-DQ8 is not present. This reduces the genetic likelihood of celiac disease.
Reassuring. If DQ2 is also negative, celiac disease is genetically excluded.
HLA-DQ8: negativeYou do not carry the HLA-DQ8 gene. DQ8 is the second major genetic risk factor for celiac disease (present in about 5% of celiac patients, usually those who are DQ2-negative).
No action needed. Reassuring result.
HLA-DQ8: negative — no genetic predispositionHLA-DQ8 is not present, which is the optimal genetic finding regarding celiac disease risk.
No action needed.
HLA-DQ8: negativeYou carry one copy of HLA-DQ8, which modestly increases your genetic risk for celiac disease. The risk is lower than DQ2 carriers.
No action needed unless you have symptoms. If DQ2 was also detected, your risk combines.
HLA-DQ8: heterozygous (one copy) — mild genetic riskYou carry two copies of HLA-DQ8. While DQ8 is less common than DQ2 as a celiac risk factor, homozygosity increases your risk compared to non-carriers.
Consider celiac antibody screening if you have symptoms or a family history of celiac disease.
HLA-DQ8: homozygous (two copies) — increased genetic riskYou carry two copies of HLA-DQ8, indicating a significant genetic predisposition to celiac disease, particularly if you are DQ2-negative (approximately 5% of celiac patients carry only DQ8).
Discuss with your doctor. Regular celiac antibody screening is recommended, especially if you have symptoms or a first-degree relative with celiac disease.
