Of course, they would not do any more DR testing on you since they already have the beta chains results, at least for celiac testing.
If you wonder about mold sensitivity, or lyme disease, (= inability to get rid of neurotoxins) that would be another question.

Well, when reading about celiac, often one runs into the concept DR.

The best place to start is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-DR

Now there is an explanation somewhat below the middle of this page:
http://www.enabling.org/ia/celiac/cel-hla.html
like DQ2 is also DR3, and DQ8 is also DR4.

Now this one is from 1994:

note they still wonder about DQ8, which here is DR4.
also, now we know the 05* alpha chain of DQ2,5 trans is the celiac part of this DQ2 gene, and that is why they do alpha chain testing as per reports on the celiac forums. Some with only 05* in the alpha chains have been diagnosed celiac now. DQ2,2 alone, without DQ7,5, is not so prone to celiac.
