Coeliac Disease among Healthy Members of Multiple Case Coeliac Disease Families

Abstract: Undetected coeliac disease is common even among healthy first-degree relatives of multiple case families. The findings emphasize the value of serum endomysial antibodies in the detection of clinically silent coeliac disease. Endomysial-antibody-positive individuals, unlike gliadin-antibody-positive ones, share the coeliac disease-type HLA-DQ.

“…Three known polymorphisms within the CTLA4 gene were genotyped. Two dimorphisms, þ 49*A/G in the exon 1 46 and -318*C/T in the promoter region, 47 were typed by PCR/RFLP method, using primers 5 0 AACCC AGGTAGGAGAAACAC and 5 0 GCTCTACTTCCTGAA GACCT and BbvI digestion for CTLA4 þ 49*A/G, and primers 5 0 TTACGAGAAAGGAAGCCGTG and 5 0 AAA TGAATTGGACTGGATGGT and MseI digestion for CTLA4 þ 318*C/T. A polymorphic AT repeat, CTLA4(AT)n, in the 3 0 -untranslated region of CTLA4 gene 48 was genotyped with fluorescent-labelled forward primer 5 0 GTGATGCTAAAGGTTGTATTGC and reverse primer 5 0 AAAACATACGTGGCTCTATGCAC using ABI PRISM 310 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).…”

“…Current studies in the production of gluten free malt have, so far, only focused on sorghum 15 and buckwheat 46,47,[53][54][55][56][57] . In Europe, the prevalence of CD has been estimated to be 1 in 300 to 1 in 500 persons, but recent population-based screening studies 33 suggest that prevalence is as high as 1 in 100. Recent studies have shown that CD is as frequent in the United States as in Europe 13 .…”

“…In order to evaluate whether the HLA DQ alleles determine the exact clinical outcome, we studied the allele distribution in 25 Finnish families in which one sibling had cCD and the other DH. These families were identified from 110 multiplex families with gluten sensitive enteropathy (Mustalahti et al 2002) collected for genetic analyses. To increase the number of patients we also addressed the same question using Hungarian case-control material.…”
