A prevalence study of celiac disease in persons with Down syndrome residing in the United States of America

Abstract: In order to estimate the prevalence of celiac disease in persons with Down syndrome, 105 patients with this chromosomal disorder residing on the East Coast of the United States of America were enrolled in this study. IgA and IgG antigliadin antibodies (AGA) were determined using a fluorescent immunoenzymatic assay, and antiendomysium antibodies (AEA) were measured with immunofluorescence on monkey oesophagus. Of the 105 patients, 5 were positive for AEA, 4 were positive for IgG AGA, and 1 was positive for IgG … Show more

“…De acordo com Pueschel et al 13 , a força muscular do portador da SD tende a melhorar à medida que ganha mais idade. As médias de idade apresentadas no presente estudo encontram-se bem próximas daquela encontrada por Godoy e Barros 21 , que foi de 27,82±6,63 anos para ambos os sexos.…”

“…La prevalencia de enfermedad celíaca (EC) varía entre 5 y 15% 24,25 , y hasta un 50% de los casos pueden presentarse en forma atípica 26 . Aún hay discusión respecto a la utilidad del tamizaje para EC en pacientes asintomáticos.…”

“…The very high incidence of celiac disease in Down's syndrome patients (16.9%; 19%) reported by Swedish authors [23,29] could have been related to the higher incidence of celiac disease in the general Swedish population [16,17] and to the criteria used by the authors, which were inconsistent with the current criteria of celiac disease diagnosis. Studies conducted on more numerous, and therefore more reliable, groups of 105 to 1202 patients show an estimated incidence of celiac disease in Down's syndrome patients of 1% to 6.3% [21,24,25,30,32,34,41,42,44]. In the analysis mentioned above the study of Goldacre et al [41] was a result of a retrospective analysis of medical records of 1453 patients Down's syndrome from the Oxford region from the years 1963-1999.…”

“…The published studies about the incidence of celiac disease in Down's syndrome patients utilized different criteria of patient selection (Table II), and thus the study groups are heterogeneous and the results are A Au ut th ho or r, , d da at te e, , c co ou un nt tr ry y S Se el le ec ct ti io on n c cr ri it te er ri ia a o of f p pa at ti ie en nt ts s w wi it th h D Do ow wn n' 's s s sy yn nd dr ro om me e [22,30,31,35,36,38,[42][43][44]; there are few studies on the incidence of celiac disease in Down's syndrome patients conducted on the scale of a large region or country [32,39,40]. The only available multi-center study assessing the incidence of celiac disease, conducted on a group of Down's syndrome patients in a number that complies with the requirements of an epidemiological study, was performed by an Italian group.…”
