The purpose of this study was to identify possible serum biomarkers predicting celiac disease (CD) onset in children at risk.
A subgroup from an ongoing, international prospective study of children at risk of CD was classified according to an early trajectory of deamidated gliadin peptides (DGPs) immunoglobulin (Ig) G and clinical outcomes (CD, potential CD, and CD autoimmunity).
Thirty-eight of 325 children developed anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody (anti-tTG IgA) seroconversion. Twenty-eight of 38 children (73.6%) showed an increase in anti-DGPs IgG before their first anti-tTG IgA seroconversion.
Anti-DGPs IgG can represent an early preclinical biomarker predicting CD onset in children at risk.
本研究旨在确定可能的血清生物标志物,以预测处于风险中的儿童发生乳糜泻(CD)。
对一项正在进行的、针对 CD 高危儿童的国际前瞻性研究的亚组,根据脱酰胺麦胶蛋白肽(DGPs)免疫球蛋白(Ig)G 的早期轨迹和临床结果(CD、潜在 CD 和 CD 自身免疫)进行分类。
325 名儿童中有 38 名出现抗组织转谷氨酰胺酶 IgA 抗体(anti-tTG IgA)血清转化。在首次抗-tTG IgA 血清转化之前,38 名儿童中有 28 名(73.6%)出现抗-DGPs IgG 增加。
抗-DGPs IgG 可能是预测高危儿童 CD 发病的早期临床前生物标志物。
