BACKGROUND
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathic condition triggered in genetically susceptible individuals by the ingestion of gluten. Although common in Europe, CD is thought to be rare in the United States, where there are no large epidemiologic studies of its prevalence. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of CD in at-risk and not-at-risk groups in the United States.
METHODS
Serum antigliadin antibodies and anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) were measured…

The results suggest that the prevalence of CD in children approximates that of US adults and that the true prevalence in children without known risk factors may be increasing.

It is seen that family studies are needed every time a patient is diagnosed with celiac disease; these studies should include both first- and second-degree relatives, given the high prevalence encountered and the fact that these tests are relatively straighforward to perform.

Children displaying minimal symptoms frequently associated with coeliac disease and children with DM1 should be systematically screened for tTG Abs, which was detected in 2.6% of children with symptoms associated with CD, such as digestive signs and growth failure.
Prevalence of Celiac Disease Among First-degree Relatives of Patients With Celiac Disease

The present study identified 23 undiagnosed cases of celiac disease among 484 first-degree relatives of 195 patients with Celiac disease, confirming the high prevalence (4.8%) of the disease in this specific group.

In a primary care HMO setting, using secondary databases from EMR, the authors found 1 case of celiac disease every 470 affiliates, giving a prevalence of 0.22%, which could be considered relatively high.

Serologic testing can readily detect this disease in a general population of a geographically isolated area and screening for celiac disease was widely accepted in this preventative health-care setting.

Strong positive RBC-TG2ab showed good accuracy and excellent correlation with the other antibodies and celiac-type human leukocyte antigen, and the diagnosis of celiac disease was established in 94% of both children and adults.

These findings confirm that, in Italy, CD is one of the most common chronic disorders showing a wide and heterogeneous clinical spectrum and most CD cases remain undiagnosed unless actively searched.

The current gold standard for the diagnosis of CD remains histologic confirmation of the intestinal damage in serologically positive individuals, and the keystone treatment of CD patients is a lifelong elimination diet in which food products containing gluten are avoided.

Results point to control of the immune response to gluten by intestinal T cells restricted by the DQ2 or DQ8 molecules, likely to be a critical checkpoint for the development of celiac disease.
