Abstract

The submerged component of the 'coeliac iceberg' may be diminishing due to increasing case ascertainment, with a projected ratio of undiagnosed to diagnosed cases as low as 1.5:1. Our identification of clustering must be interpreted with caution, but suggests that an additional environmental factor may influence the pathogenesis of CD.
