Study Identifies Major Peptide Culprits in Celiac Disease
Wed, 07/21/2010 - 17:00The overactive immune response to gluten that characterizes celiac disease results mostly from a limited number of peptides activating pathogenic T cells, suggesting that the disease might be prevented by developing nontoxic gluten products or be treated with immunotherapy, according to a study in the July 21 issue of Science Translational Medicine.

What Do Brazilian Pediatricians Know About Celiac Disease?
Fri, 07/16/2010 - 11:00Conclusions We conclude that pediatricians have superficial information about CD. The need for relevant information on celiac disease is fundamental and is recognized by the pediatricians themselves.

Proteomic Analyses Lead to a Better Understanding of Celiac Disease: Focus on Epitope Recognition and Autoantibodies
Fri, 07/16/2010 - 01:45Abstract Proteomic technologies are being used with increasing frequency in the scientific community. In this review, we have highlighted their use in celiac disease (CD). The available techniques, which include two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and antibody and tissue arrays, have been used to identify proteins or changes in protein expression specific to gut tissue from patients with CD. A number of studies have employed proteomic methodologies to determine the diagnostic biomarkers in body fluids or to examine changes in protein expression and posttranslational modifications during signaling. A fast technological development of these methods, along with the combination of classic techniques with proteomics, will lead to new discoveries, which ...

50 Years Ago in The Journal of Pediatrics: The Present State of Knowledge on the Celiac Syndrome
Fri, 07/16/2010 - 00:28Frazer AC. J Pediatr 1960;57:262-76. In the early 1960s the term âceliac syndromeâ was commonly used to denote the entire spectrum of malabsorptive disorders. As our knowledge has evolved, we now recognize that celiac disease, the most common form of malabsorption, is a specific autoimmune disorder resulting from permanent intolerance to gluten, the main storage protein of wheat and other grains. The disease was once believed to result from toxic or allergic effects induced by a deleterious agent but is now known to be a T-cellâmediated inflammatory disorder characterized by an immune response against gliadin. The role played by genetic factors was suggested in 1960. Now celiac disease is a well-understood HLA-linked multigenic disorder associated with HLA-DQ2 (DOA1*05/DQB1*02) or H...

Bone mineral density and importance of strict gluten-free diet in children and adolescents with celiac disease
Wed, 07/14/2010 - 17:00Conclusion: Children and adolescents on not strict GFD are at increased risk for low BMD. We therefore recommend that BMD should be evaluated in patients with positive EMA. In addition, patients on strict GFD are at risk for low BMD because of low calcium intake or vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, strict GFD with recommended calcium intake and vitamin D supplementation during winter and spring should be encouraged in all children and adolescents with celiac disease. (Source: Bone)

Haplotype Analysis Discriminates Genetic Risk for DR3-Associated Endocrine Autoimmunity and Helps Define Extreme Risk for Addison's Disease.
Tue, 07/13/2010 - 17:00Conclusion: Extreme risk for AD, especially in multiplex families, is associated with haplotypic DR3 variants, in particular a portion (3.8) but not all of the conserved 3.8.1 haplotype.
