Jejunal biopsy has been carried out in 19 relatives of patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and stereomicroscopic abnormalities have been found in seven. The majority of the relatives in whom these abnormalities were found had no bowel symptoms: one had the rash of dermatitis herpetiformis. All but one of the propositi of the relatives in whom were found small intestinal mucosal abnormalities themselves had the coeliac syndrome. It is concluded that a genetic factor is involved in the production of the enteropathy of dermatitis herpetiformis as in other forms of the coeliac syndrome.
对19名疱疹样皮炎患者的亲属进行了空肠活检，其中7人发现有立体显微镜下的异常。发现这些异常的大多数亲属没有肠道症状：1人有疱疹样皮炎皮疹。在发现有小肠黏膜异常的亲属中，除1人外，所有先证者本身都患有乳糜泻综合征。结论是，与其他形式的乳糜泻综合征一样，遗传因素参与了疱疹样皮炎肠病的发生。
