There is another genetic test called HLA-B27 for people with problems with digestion. A positive result is indicative of enteropathic arthritis which can mimic symptoms of PMR. However, symptoms usually start to occur at a younger age compared to PMR.

PMR should only be diagnosed after excluding everything else. The problem is that people can still have PMR in addition to everything else.
