Description

Celiac disease is a condition characterized by digestive and intestinal malabsorption disorders associated with intolerance to gluten found
in cereals. This abnormal immune response is caused by an excessive immune response to a group of cereal proteins called prolamins, specifically the prolamin-derived fractions gliadin
(in wheat), secalin (in barley), and hordein
(in rye). The tTGA test is a recommended screening test for individuals who need to exclude celiac disease, as it is characterized by very high sensitivity (over 90%) and specificity (almost 100%).
