It is a multifactorial disease, including genetic and environmental factors. Environmental trigger is represented by gluten while the genetic predisposition has been identified in the major histocompatibility complex region which causes the presence of specific antibodies against gluten and its components. Celiac disease is not a rare disorder like previously thought, with a global prevalence around 1%. The reason of its under recognition is mainly referable to the fact that about half of affected people do not have the classic gastrointestinal symptoms, but they present nonspecific manifestations nutritional deficiency or have no symptoms at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGLUTEN, GLIADIN AND DGP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGluten is a protein found in wheat, composed of glutenin and gliadin. It helps foods maintain their shape, acting as a glue that holds food together. Gliadin is a peptide water-soluble component of gluten and it can pass through the intestinal epithelium. Gliadin is the part of gluten responsible for Celiac Disease. DGP: Deamidated gliadin peptides are the result of the action of Transglutaminase Enzyme and its detection could increase sensitivities, specificities and accuracies of celiac disease screening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHO ARE THE INTENDED USERS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePatients with symptoms (abdominal bloating and pain, chronic diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, weight loss, fatigue, irritability), patients with a first-degree family member with CD, and people with Type I diabetes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY – BENEFITS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderdiagnosis is common and the quality-of-life impact of symptoms may be severe.
