Joint BSPGHAN and Coeliac UK guidelines for the diagnosis and management of coeliac disease in children

TLDR
The revised BSPGHAN guidelines represent an important shift in diagnostic strategy, aimed at simplifying and shortening the diagnostic process in selected cases, and should be of assistance for paediatricians in specialties other than gastroenterology.
Abstract
The revised BSPGHAN guidelines for the diagnosis and management of coeliac disease represent an important shift in diagnostic strategy, aimed at simplifying and shortening the diagnostic process in selected cases. Guidance is given concerning the indications for testing for coeliac disease, which is still significantly underdiagnosed in the UK. While screening data suggest a likely incidence of 1 in 100 persons, only 10%-20% of this figure is currently being diagnosed.The BSPGHAN guidelines follow the new ESPGHAN guidelines in overall diagnostic strategy, while providing more didactic stratagems, which should be of assistance for paediatricians in specialties other than gastroenterology.

TL;DR: Recent findings and approaches to genomic prediction model construction and performance are reviewed, then the potential benefits of such models in two complex human diseases, aiding diagnosis in celiac disease and prospective risk prediction for cardiovascular disease are contrasted.

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.

Integration of genetic and immunological insights into a model of celiac disease pathogenesis.

TL;DR: Comparison of genetic pathways as well as genetic susceptibility loci between CD and other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders reveals that CD bears stronger resemblance to T cell-mediated organ-specific autoimmune than to inflammatory diseases.
