Your DNA file reports your genotype at rs2187668 — a marker in the HLA-DQA1 gene that studies link to celiac disease genetic risk (hla-dq2.5 tag). Here's what each genotype is associated with:
| Genotype | What it's associated with |
|---|---|
| CC | HLA-DQ2.5 tag not detected — lower genetic predisposition (not a rule-out). |
| CT | Carries one copy of the HLA-DQ2.5 tag — higher genetic predisposition to celiac disease. Most carriers never develop it. |
| TT | Carries two copies of the HLA-DQ2.5 tag — higher genetic predisposition to celiac disease. Most carriers never develop it. |
