Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease in children: recommendations of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.

TL;DR: It is recommended that children and adolescents with symptoms of celiac disease or an increased risk for Celiac disease have a blood test for antibody to tissue transglutaminase (TTG), and that those with an elevated TTG be referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist for an intestinal biopsy and treated with a strict gluten-free diet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacogenomics and metabolite measurement for 6-mercaptopurine therapy in inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: 6-MP metabolite levels and TPMT genotyping may assist clinicians in optimizing therapeutic response to 6-MP and identifying individuals at increased risk for drug-induced toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

6-MP metabolite profiles provide a biochemical explanation for 6-MP resistance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: Serial metabolite monitoring identifies a novel phenotype of IBD patients resistant to 6-MP/AZA therapy biochemically characterized by suboptimal 6-TGN and preferential 6-MMPR production upon dose escalation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct and Indirect Induction by 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 of the NOD2/CARD15-Defensin β2 Innate Immune Pathway Defective in Crohn Disease

TL;DR: Hormonal vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, robustly stimulates expression of pattern recognition receptor NOD2/CARD15/IBD1 gene and protein in primary human monocytic and epithelial cells, providing strong molecular links between vitamin D deficiency and the genetics of Crohn disease, a chronic incurable inflammatory bowel condition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a capsule endoscopy scoring index for small bowel mucosal inflammatory change

TL;DR: This manuscript documents the development of a validated index for capsule endoscopy findings and states that this index is likely to be applicable to small bowel mucosal inflammatory change.
