| Quote: | Q: Why do my family members need to be screened for celiac disease?
When the diagnosis is established in one family member, their first- degree relatives (parents, siblings and children) should have blood tests for celiac disease. This is because at least 10% of family members will have the disease, even if they are asymptomatic. Screening is also recommended for second-degree relatives (grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles and cousins) as they are also at an increased risk for celiac disease. Family members who already have an autoimmune disease are at a greatly increased risk to have celiac disease (25%).
The reasons to diagnose family members prior to the development of symptoms include the prevention autoimmune diseases and malignancy. |
From University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center
http://celiacdisease.net/testing
| Quote: | | When an individual is diagnosed with celiac disease, the entire family learns that they must be tested on a regular basis for the condition. First degree relatives (parent, child, sibling) have a 1 in 22 chance of developing celiac disease in their lifetimes; in second degree relatives, (aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent) the risk is 1 in 39. |
Dr. Green recommends that first degree relatives be tested every 2 years, more often in the event of symptoms. Your daughter should definitely be tesed, as should all your other children and your parents and siblings.
Hope this helps.
