Is tTGA more essential in diagnosis of gluten sensitive enteropathy?

A research article to be published on March 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology will address this question.

This fact explains why CD remains underdiagnosed in a high proportion of affected subjects and is an additional argument for mass-screening using other approaches.
