Antibodies against Synthetic Deamidated Gliadin Peptides for Celiac Disease Diagnosis and Follow-Up in Children

Abstract

The best available index for diagnosing CD in children was tTG IgA. In infants <2 years old, AGA IgG II performed as well as tTG IgA in cases without total IgA deficiency and allowed detection of CD when total IgA was <0.06 g/L. Gluten-free diet monitoring can be achieved using any of the studied serum markers.
