Test Code: CELDIS
Celiac Disease
Immunogenetics
Celiac disease is a chronic, inherited autoimmune disorder in which exposure to gluten proteins from wheat, barley, and rye provokes an abnormal immune response in genetically predisposed individuals, resulting in small intestinal mucosal injury, villous atrophy, and impaired nutrient absorption; clinically, it presents with a broad spectrum of gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms, and management requires lifelong adherence to a strict gluten‑free diet to achieve mucosal healing and prevent complications.
