Referring Practitioner:

Welcome to your dna oestrogen reportFrom your buccal swab sample we have used a process called the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), which copies the DNA of your genes many times over so that we can generate sufficient quantities to analyse your genetic material. We then identify unique DNA sequences in some of your genes.

Considerable inter-individual variability has been observed in biological areas that are involved in carcinogen metabolism, metabolism of steroid hormones, and phase I and phase II detoxification. Variations in genes involved in these biological processes help identify a sub-population of women and men with higher lifetime exposure to oestrogens, oestrogen metabolites and other carcinogens. Understanding an individual’s genetic variability will allow for targeted diet, lifestyle and hormone intervention.

Testing Information: Approximately 80% of breast cancer occurs in women with no family history. Oestrogen affects the function of a number of target tissues and research has shown that an increased lifetime exposure to oestrogen is a strong risk factor in the development of breast cancer.

DNA Oestrogen tests for gene variants that have been shown to have an impact on how oestrogen is processed in the body and if the processing of oestrogen and related compounds is efficient and healthy. The DNA Oestrogen test guides the personalisation of diet, hormone and nutritional supplement recommendations to improve oestrogen metabolism.

DNA OestrogenTests for various polymorphisms that have been shown to affect the metabolism of oestrogen and associated disease risks.

DUTCH PlusThe DUTCH Plus™ takes hormone testing to a whole new level. In addition to sex hormones and their metabolites the DUTCH Complete looks at overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol, and the total and distribution of cortisol metabolites. The DUTCH Plus™ adds the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR).

• An evaluation of the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) is done by measuring salivary cortisol upon waking and then again 30 and 60 minutes later (additional measurements are made around dinner and bedtime).

• Research has shown that this post-waking increase in cortisol (the CAR) is the best way to assess an individual’s stress response and HPA-axis function.

• Six organic acids (OATS) markers are included. Two neurotransmitters metabolites which will offer insights into symptoms such as mood disorders and fatigue, and will be combined with markers for vitamin B12, vitamin B6 and glutathione deficiency.

The DUTCH Plus™ report includes: • Metabolites of Estrogens (10, including E1,

E2, E3, 2-OHE1, 4-OH-E1, 2-OH-E2, 4-OH-E2, 16-OH-E1, 2-methoxy-E1, 2-methoxy-E2)

• Androgens (8, including Testosterone, DHT and DHEA-S)

• Progesterone (2)

• Cortisol (3)

• Melatonin (6OHMS)

• 8-OHdG

• OATs (6)

• The diurnal pattern of Free Cortisol and Cortisone are also provided, including the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR).

Hormone Comments:

Progesterone to estradiol (Pg/E2) ratio and reported symptoms are consistent with progesterone insufficiency (estrogen dominance).Supplementation with topical progesterone to correct this relative deficiency is a consideration. Note: The progesterone level is suggestive of ananovulatory cycle, luteal phase failure or collection outside of luteal phase.

Key Points for DDI Serum Test:• Assesses both IgG tTG and IgA tTG

separately and assesses all iso-forms (other labs don’t test all iso-forms; just number 2).

• Assesses DGP for both IgG and IgA for covering those individuals that are IgA deficient (a fair number of people nowadays) and children.

• Assesses both Anti Gliadin IgG and IgA; assesses all sub-fractions (other labs don’t test all sub-fractions; just α-gliadin).

• Assesses IgE Wheat Antibodies.

• Assesses Total Serum IgA.

• Provides insight into Coeliac and NON-Coeliac Gluten Sensitivity.

Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity Panel – SerumDoctor’s Data, Inc (DDI) a premier clinical laboratory with over 30 years experience, provides speciality testing to healthcare practitioners around the world. DDI’s Gluten Sensitivity Panel is the best determination of Coeliac we can achieve in the blood but it’s not limited to only Coeliac, it checks for the ‘other possibilities’ – Non-Coeliac gluten sensitivities.

TESTINGSNAPSHOTAssessing CoeliAC DiseAse and non-Coeliac gluten sensitivity

What Makes gluten so Problematic As A source of Food-Based Reactivity?

Due to it being, by nature, highly resistant to digestion, gluten has been associated with numerous digestive and inflammatory complaints. However the degree that this is so, appears to stem well beyond the merely structural.

Due to possessing some relatively unique and formidable characteristics of its own, and being invariably accompanied by numerous other potentially disruptive and anti-nutrient compounds, gluten and the grains that contain it, appear to have an entire swathe of physical and metabolic consequences, all of which appear to be almost universally inflammatory.

DDi’s gluten sensitivity Panel is the best determination of Coeliac we can achieve in the blood but it’s not limited to only Coeliac, it checks for the ‘other possibilities’ – non-Coeliac gluten sensitivities.

tTg has been used since the mid-90’s-2000’s as the best marker to use for Coeliac in the blood. DgP came about more recently and is a valuable addition to gluten reactivity screening and picks up the subset of the population that tTg may not be as reliable for (i.e. children and igA deficient individuals).

tTg (Tissue Transglutaminase) is an enzyme that facilitates cross-linkage of extracellular matrix proteins in the tissue in an effort to repair injured and inflamed tissue. gluten can trigger an abnormal response whereby the body perceives it as foreign antigens and thus antibodies to tTg are produced causing the repair function of Transglutaminase to noT do its job. These auto-antibodies (anti- tTg) can be detected through serum blood draw providing ‘gold standard’ assessment in screening Coeliac Disease (CD). Despite being a categorical marker of CD, there is a small subset of individuals that you may see variability in using tTg alone (children & igA deficient individuals), therefore, Deamidated gliadin Peptides (DgP) are assessed to pick up the short-fall of tTg in those individuals. This allows the serum option to be the most comprehensive assessment available (short of doing a histological analysis of the small intestinal mucosa) which offers detection and differentiation of Coeliac Disease, non-Coeliac gluten sensitivity, Wheat Allergy and igA insufficiency in a diverse range of populations.

The nature of gluten

gluten is a collective term for the series of hardy proteins that give strength and integrity to many grass seeds (cereal grains). The term ‘gluten’ is almost exclusively used to refer to that of Wheat, Rye, Barley and often oats, and therefore so will the following.

Wheat gluten is made of numerous protein sub-fractions. These are predominantly divided into gliadins and glutenins (which occur in about even proportions within most forms of gluten).

The viscoelasticity that gluten affords to many culinary traditions is attributable primarily to the concatenating structures formed by the interaction of high and low molecular weight glutenins that constitute the insoluble components of gluten.

The gliadins on the other hand constitute the more soluble components and can be divided into further sub-fractions within the categories of α-gliadin, β-gliadin, γ-gliadin, and ω-gliadin.

Which is better out of tTg and DgP?

There are cases where individuals may respond better in one or the other thus combining the two (which is offered through DDI serum test) is showing the whole story.

Key Points for DDi serum Test:• Assesses both igg tTg and igA tTg separately and assesses all iso-forms

(other labs don’t test all iso-forms; just number 2).

• Assesses DgP for both igg and igA for covering those individuals that are igA deficient (a fair number of people nowadays) and children.
