Celiac PLUS
Use
PROMETHEUS® Celiac PLUS is the only celiac test that combines serologic and genetic testing in one convenient test. It aids in diagnosing celiac disease by identifying both serologic markers and genetic risk factors. Genetic testing involved in this analysis can detect genes specific to celiac disease (DQ2/DQ8), which if absent, can rule out celiac disease with a high negative predictive value (NPV) of 95% to 100%. The genetic component also estimates patient risk from extremely low to extremely high according to individual genetic profiles.
