Hla types in celiac disease patients not carrying the DQA1*05-DQB1*02 (DQ2) heterodimer: results from the european genetics cluster on celiac disease

TL;DR: The results underline the primary importance of HLA-DQ alleles in susceptibility to celiac disease, and the extreme rarity of celiac patients carrying neither the D Q2 or DQ8 heterodimers nor one half of the DQ2 heterodimer alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concordance of Dermatitis Herpetiformis and Celiac Disease in Monozygous Twins

TL;DR: Genetically identical individuals can have clearly distinguished phenotypes, either dermatitis herpetiformis or celiac disease, suggesting that environmental factors determine the exact phenotype of this multifactorial disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Additional factor in some HLA DR3/DQ2 haplotypes confers a fourfold increased genetic risk of celiac disease.

TL;DR: While DQ2 is an absolute requirement for the development of CD, the presence of an additional genetic factor within the MIC-Class I region confers an approximate 4-fold increased risk of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic dissection between coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis in sib pairs

TL;DR: Results from the Finnish family material with 25 discordant and 85 concordant sib pairs, and from additional case-control material comprising 71 unrelated Hungarian DH and 68 cCD patients, together indicated that the HLA DQ locus did not differ between the two major outcomes of gluten sensitive enteropathy.
