Abstract

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2 and/or -DQ8 is an essential risk factor for celiac disease (CD). About 90-95% of patients with CD carry HLA-DQ2/-DQ8 alleles, and HLA-DQ typing is considered an additional diagnostic test. Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based HLA-DQ typing methods are expensive, complex, and a time-consuming process. We assessed the efficacy of a novel HLA-DQ typing method, "Celiac Gene Screen," for the detection of CD-associated HLA haplotypes.
