PG - 1143-1148 LID - 10.1002/jpn3.12181 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: Autoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) are serological markers of celiac disease. The aim was to study the applicability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyping and tTG autoantibodies in the screening of celiac disease in a longitudinal birth cohort followed to age 15 years. METHODS: Included were 13,860 HLA-DQ-genotyped children at birth and previously invited to a screening at age 3 and 9 years, respectively. HLA-DQB1*02 and/or DQB1*03:02 (HLA-risk) children were compared with non-HLA-DQB1*02 and non-DQB1*03:02 (HLA-nonrisk) children. The present study reinvited 12,948/13,860 (93.4%) children at age 15 years of whom 1056/2374 (44.5%) participated in screening at both age 3 and 9 years. Both immunoglobulin A (IgA) and G (IgG) autoantibodies against tTG were analyzed separately in radiobinding assays. Persistently tTG autoantibody-positive children were examined with intestinal biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of celiac disease. RESULTS: At age 3 years, celiac disease was diagnosed in 56/1635 (3.4%) HLA-risk children compared with 0/1824 HLA-nonrisk children (p < 0.001). By age 9 years, celiac disease was diagnosed in 72/1910 (3.8%) HLA-risk children compared with 0/2167 HLA-nonrisk children (p < 0.001). Screening at age 15 years detected 14/1071 (1.3%) HLA-risk children positive for IgA-tTG and/or IgG-tTG of whom 12/1071 (1.1%) remained persistently positive. Among those, 10/1071 (0.9%, 95% confidence interval: 0.4%-1.7%) HLA-risk children were diagnosed with celiac disease compared with 0/1303 HLA-nonrisk children (p < 0.001) and 5/491 (1.0%) were negative in screenings at both 3 and 9 years of age. CONCLUSIONS: Screening for celiac disease needs to be performed at multiple timepoints to detect all cases but can be restricted to children at HLA-risk. CI - (c) 2024 The Authors.
