Default Has anyone heard of DR genes in relation to Celiac?

Braintalk being down has been driving me crazy!!!!! It is so good to see familiar, er, faces? Names? Anyways...the question I've been waiting to ask...

My daughters pediatrician tested her, but said he was going to test for the most specific genes, DR2 and DR8. DQ is outdated. She tested as DR4,1.

But I can't find anything at all about DR and relation to celiac. I did find something linking DR4 to rheumatoid arthritis, which is related to gluten sensitivity, but thats all. I hate to just think he's "wrong". So...anyone have any info to "prove" him right? Or am I still at square 1?
