High Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Mexican Mestizo Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

As in other populations, we demonstrated a high prevalence of biopsy-proven CD (5.9%) among Mexican Mestizo patients with type-1 diabetes. Clinicians should be aware of this common association in this ethnic group.

Comparison of the Reliability of 17 Celiac Disease Associated Bio-Markers to Reflect Intestinal Damage

“…It is foreseeable that the autoantibodies generated against the neo-epitope may represent the best means for screening populations, diagnosing high-risk groups and identify silent or latent patients. In fact, several studies have shown the superiority of screening for CD using the neo-tTg/DGPs complex strategy in the general population [26,27] or in high-risk groups' subjects [16,18,19,[28][29][30]. The present results go along this serological diagnostic strategy and add the aspect of intestinal damage reflection.…”

Detection of Celiac Disease and Lymphocytic Enteropathy by Parallel Serology and Histopathology in a Population-Based Study

“…[44][45][46] Including patients with serology and increased IELs without atrophy and 2 previously treated patients, the prevalence approaches 2%. The high prevalence of celiac disease in this population likely is the result of the carriage of the at risk genotype that is common in Finnish and Swedish populations.…”

Serological Diagnosis of Celiac Disease –Moving Beyond the Tip of the Iceberg

“…It is foreseeable that the autoantibodies generated against the neo-epitope complex may represent the best means for screening populations and for diagnosing high-risk groups for identification of the silent or latent patients. In fact, several studies have shown the superiority of screening for CD using the tTG/DGPs complex strategy in the general population [29,30] or in groups of at-risk subjects [17,18,19,31,32,33]. Most recently, neo-epitope DGP/tTG autoantibodies were shown to present a new and sensitive serological marker of dermatitis herpetiformis, a disease closely related to CD [34].…”
