Searching for Celiac Disease Screening-detected celiac disease in an HLA-genotyped birth cohort
Objectives: Celiac disease is a common immune mediated enteropathy strongly associated with HLA-DQB1*02 (DQ2), *0302 (DQ8), or both and the presence of tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGA). Prevalence studies have revealed that most affected individuals go undetected because of subclinical …

Screening Detected Celiac Disease in Children
Background: The prevalence of celiac disease (CD) is estimated to be around 1%, but most CD cases are undiagnosed. Sweden experienced an epidemic of clinically detected celiac disease in children younger than 2 years of age, partly due to changes in infant feeding practices, were the amount of …

THE ROLE OF MOLECULAR SIGNATURES IN COMPLICATED CELIAC DISEASE
Introduction: Refractory celiac disease (RCD) is defined as the persistence of symptoms and villous atrophy despite adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD). Based on their molecular signatures, aberrant intraepithelial lymphocytes (aIELs) and monoclonal TCRγ rearrangement, RCD patients are …

Celiac Disease Diagnosis Among Primary Care Nurse Practitioners: A Quality Improvement Project
INTRODUCTION: Celiac disease (CD), an inflammatory condition of the small bowel, is now recognized as the most common of the autoimmune disorders (Kenrick & Day, 2014). Unfortunately, due to poor awareness among primary care providers (PCPs) this disease remains highly underdiagnosed despite its …

What is the Relationship Between Quality of Life and Coping Strategies of Adults with Celiac Disease Adhering to a Gluten Free Diet?
Until recently, celiac disease was thought to be rare in the United States. However over the past ten years, the reported prevalence has increased from 1 in 4600 persons to 1 in 133 persons. The latest estimate makes the prevalence comparable to the prevalence in Europe, where the disease is …
