If I have a positive test result, does that mean that I will definitely develop celiac disease?
No, not everyone who carries one or more of the celiac associated HLA alleles will suffer from celiac disease. Although the presence of each of these alleles increases the lifetime risk of developing celiac disease there are many individuals that have these alleles and never develop celiac disease.
