Analyzes a patient's genetic profile for genes specifically associated with celiac disease. Advanced high-resolution DNA probe analysis of HLA-DQ haplotypes allow for disease risk stratification depending upon which HLA genes are detected. Also, testing can predict with a 95% to 100% negative predictive value (NPV) that the patient will not develop celiac disease if HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 haplotypes are not present.
