In fact some researches have reported that a positive result in some of the genes in this report yields over 99% accuracy and a negative result yields 97% accuracy. You should take these results to a doctor that understands genetic mutations to help you identify potential risks.
Celiac disease is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorder with multi-systemic manifestations, both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal. In genetically susceptible individuals, ingestion of gluten can cause inflammation and damage to the small intestine mucosa. Celiac disease has an incidence of 1:100 in the US.
Gluten intolerance causes the same symptoms as celiac disease without the damage to the small intestine.
