Celiac genes - National Celiac Association
WEB“The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) genes are linked to many autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease. Everyone has a copy from the mother and a copy from the father. These copies can come in different versions called alleles. The HLA gene alleles that predispose a person to celiac disease are called DQ2 and DQ8.
