Celiac Genetics
Use
PROMETHEUS Celiac Genetics analyzes a patient’s genetic profile for genes specifically associated with celiac disease. The test can predict with 95% to 100% certainty that a patient does not have celiac disease or determine if they are at increased risk of developing symptoms. This genetic profiling helps in disease risk stratification and understanding the likely course of the disease.
