| GENERAL INFORMATION | |
|---|---|
| Testing Schedule | Mon, Wed, Fri |
| Expected TAT | 2-5 Days |
| Clinical Use | Serologic testing for Celiac Disease (CD) in children less than 3 years of age should be interpreted knowing that the IgA anti-tissue Transglutaminase (IgA anti-tTG) is approximately 90% sensitive in children of this age. In older children and adults, the sensitivity increases to 96%. In children less than 3 years of age, IgG anti-tTG is not reliable. IgA deficiency is 10-15 times more common in patients with CD, occurring in an estimated 2-3% of the patients with CD. IgA and IgG anti-deaminated gliadin peptide (DGP) are also useful markers in CD. |
| Notes | Recent literature has reported that Celiac disease (CD) is a more common disorder in the United States than previously recognized. |
