IgA Anti-transglutaminase Autoantibodies at Type 1 Diabetes Onset Are Less Frequent in Adult Patients and Are Associated With a General Celiac-Specific Lower Immune Response in Comparison With Nondiabetic Celiac Patients at Diagnosis

摘要

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the celiac-associated humoral autoimmunity in child, adolescent, and adult patients at type 1 diabetes (DM1) onset and to determine whether DM1 celiac-specific humoral immunoreactivity occurs similarly to that in nondiabetic patients at celiac disease (CD) diagnosis.
