Gluten sensitivity (GS) is one of the gluten-related disorders (GRDs). Patients with GS may have serum antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) (IgA and IgG) without any evidence of enteropathy. We aimed to evaluate both tTG-6 and tTG-2 antibodies to determine the prevalence of seropositive tTG-2 and tTG-6 antibodies in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
In this cross-sectional study, we carried out serological tests (IgA & IgG anti-tTG-6 and tTG-2 antibodies) in patients with MS.
Seventy-two patients with MS were included in this study. Of them, seropositive patients for total (IgA+IgG) of tTG-6 and tTG-2 autoantibodies were 9.7% (95% CI, 4.2-18) and 5.6% (95% CI, 1.4-12.5), respectively.
Anti-tTG-6 antibody testing may be necessary for early diagnosis of GS in patients with MS. More studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to confirm these data.
麸质敏感性（GS）是麸质相关疾病（GRD）之一。GS患者可能有抗组织转谷氨酰胺酶（tTG）的血清抗体（IgA和IgG），但无任何肠病证据。我们旨在评估tTG-6和tTG-2抗体，以确定多发性硬化症（MS）患者中tTG-2和tTG-6抗体血清阳性的患病率。
在这项横断面研究中，我们对MS患者进行了血清学检测（IgA和IgG抗tTG-6和tTG-2抗体）。
本研究纳入了72例MS患者。其中，tTG-6和tTG-2自身抗体总（IgA+IgG）血清阳性患者分别为9.7%（95%CI，4.2-18）和5.6%（95%CI，1.4-12.5）。
抗tTG-6抗体检测可能对MS患者GS的早期诊断有必要。需要更多样本量更大的研究来证实这些数据。
