Test Code PROCP Celiac Plus - Prometheus

Additional Codes

Prometheus Test Code: 6301

PROMETHEUS® Celiac PLUS is the only celiac test that combines serologic and genetic testing in one convenient test. Genetic testing detects genes specific to celiac disease (DQ2/DQ8).

The absence of these genes and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 95% to 100% allows celiac disease to be ruled out for life1.

The presence of these genes includes an estimate of patient risk, from extremely low to extremely high, according to individual genetic makeup.

  • Most patients carry either the DQ2 haplotype (about 95% of celiacs) or the DQ8 haplotype (about 5% of celiacs).
  • There are two DQ2 haplotypes, but only one DQ8 haplotype – specific combinations may confer different risks for the development of celiac disease
