Celiac disease is characterized by sensitivity to gluten and is the most common autoimmune disease,
affecting around 1 in 200 people worldwide.
Gluten is a protein found in the grains of wheat, barley, and rye, and is one of the most commonly
consumed foods in the world. However, some people can become hypersensitive to the presence of
gluten, which can cause an abnormal reaction of the immune system against the small intestine.
This reaction can cause diarrhea, bloating, cramping, nausea, and in some cases lead to stunted
growth. Over a longer period of time, celiac disease causes damage to the small intestine, the part of
the digestive system that absorbs nutrients from food.
Gluten Intolerance-Celiac Disease Test
Outlook identifies whether your baby carries genes that are associated with the development of
celiac disease. The purpose of this test is to inform parents of their baby's natural tendency to
develop this condition. The genes that are screened are located on the HLA (human leukocyte
antigen) region of our genome (chromosome 6). There are two groups of genes in this region, DQ2
and DQ8; these genes are involved in the development of celiac disease in over 95% of all cases of
the disease,
Our non-invasive test, Outlook, offers parents an easy and painless way to find out if their child is
predisposed to developing this condition.
This genetic test can be performed before any symptoms
become apparent, meaning children can easily manage the condition with a proper diet.
