Use of deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) test kits as adjunctive to Tissue-transglutaminase IgA (TTG-IgA) for the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) has been a controversial issue. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the diagnostic performance of DGP antibodies compared to TTG-IgA and to evaluate the correlation between DGP-antibodies titers and degree of enteropathy.

Abstract
Use of deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP) test kits as adjunctive to Tissue-transglutaminase IgA (TTG-IgA) for the diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) has been a controversial issue. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the diagnostic performance of DGP antibodies compared to TTG-IgA and to evaluate the correlation between DGP-antibodies titers and degree of enteropathy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
