My doctor did HLA typing and these are my results. Can some help me decipher them?


DQ2 (DQA1 0501/0505,DQB1 02XX) Positive Final 02
DQ8 (DQA1 03XX, DQB1 0302) Positive Final 02

Final Results:
DQA1*03:CAH,05:CUUNW
DQB1*03:CUWFA,03:CVEVT

DQ2 and DQ8 are the two most common celiac genes. I have no idea what those other results represent. Never seen that code used before. But you can only have two such genes — one from your father and one from your mother.
