What to watch with Zöliakie Test and Fruchtbarkeit?

A DNA test for celiac disease (HLA-DQ2/DQ8) only indicates genetic susceptibility, not the disease itself. Many people with risk variants never develop celiac. A negative result does not fully rule out celiac (rare cases without these genes). The link between untreated celiac and fertility issues is well-established: malabsorption of key nutrients (iron, folate, zinc) and chronic inflammation can impair both female and male fertility. A gluten-free diet often restores fertility. However, the home test is not diagnostic – clinical confirmation (antibody tests, intestinal biopsy) is essential. If you suspect celiac and have fertility concerns, seek medical evaluation. Evidence for the genetic test alone is weak (mechanistic/GWAS), while the clinical association between celiac and fertility is human-strong. Beware of overinterpretation: a positive genetic result does not mean you must go gluten-free; only a doctor can diagnose.
