Celiac Disease Susceptibility - Clinical Genetic Testing
Celiac disease is a multifactorial condition, as both genetic and non-genetic factors are likely to play a role in the development of the disease. Families in which there are multiple affected, close relatives are more likely to have a significant genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing is available for some of the genetic variations more strongly associated with celiac disease susceptibility.
This testing is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing is available online at the Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below.
This testing is also available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.

Celiac Disease (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Testing for celiac disease susceptibility may also be available as part of a whole genome scan.
Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
This testing is available online through the Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.
