I echo this interesting news item published by our ever tireless campaigner Angeles, CeliacOnline because I think it is a tremendous breakthrough and very important for all celiacs.
An international group of scientists , among them English, has discovered thirteen new genes involved in celiac disease and have confirmed another thirteen which were already known from previous investigations , according to a study published in the journal Nature Genetics.
The study, which consisted of a genetic sweep - "the second to be done to study this disease," doubles the number of genetic variants that increase the risk of celiac disease, the spend 13 to 26 the number of genes that are scientifically confirmed.
The study documents a further 13 potential genes that could also be related and must be investigated and confirmed by further research, so the finding could be even greater.
The study concluded that 18 of the 27 risk variants for celiac disease are related to other autoimmune diseases, including type one diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
In the study, designed and directed by Dr. David Van Heel, Queen Mary University of London, and Cisca Wijmenga, University of Groningen - "Holland", involving researchers from nine countries , including several English investigators. This work, which has studied 9,451 celiac patients and more than 16,000 healthy subjects, is, according to the researchers, the deeper than has been done on this disease. In Spain, the research team was led by Dr. Emilio Gómez de la Concha, Immunology Service of Hospital Clínico San Carlos de Madrid, in collaboration with Dr. Isabel Polanco, Pediatric Gastroenterology Service of Hospital Universitario de La Peace. ___________________________
As you see, a breakthrough in the study of CD. Of 2 genes that are currently being studied in our country to determine the likelihood of having celiac disease, HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. After 5 more discovered in 2007, more than any other subsequently discovered, we turn to Twenty-six genes involved! One thing that should take into account physicians still believe now that if you do not have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 is impossible to have CD.
is a tremendous shame that so many of the digestive disease doctors are going to have a role in the diagnosis of celiac and even primary care physicians should know the signs to suspect this disease continue driving information are clearly obsolete. So I encourage you all celiacs to convey this information to your doctors when you do the annual monitoring of your associations in the coming meetings ye and all who can make a difference between a well-diagnosed celiac disease and one that will not be stumbling into the ancient canons.
Incidentally, how do you have left the body after knowing this?
