Research Article: Celiac disease diagnosis: transglutaminase, duodenal biopsy and genetic tests correlations

Date Published: 2024-08-29

Abstract:
Introduction: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune enteropathy triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically susceptible individuals. The haplotypes HLA-DQ2 and DQ8, transglutaminase (TGA) antibodies, and biopsy findings are the main tests performed in the evaluation and CD diagnosis. The objective was to establish possible correlations between transglutaminase levels, genetic markers tests, and qualitative intestinal biopsy findings (modified Marsh classification) at the diagnosis.
