 Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2008 3:17 pm Post subject: 7 more gene regions implicated in celiac |

I always knew it couldn't be just DQ2 and DQ8. Interesting about the common link between CD and Type 1 Diabetes.

| Quote: | Scientists who last year identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease, have, following continued research, discovered an additional seven gene regions implicated in causing the condition.
The team, lead by David van Heel, Professor of Gastrointestinal Genetics at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, have further demonstrated that of the nine coeliac gene regions now know, four of these are also predisposing factors for type 1 diabetes. Their research sheds light not only on the nature of coeliac disease, but on the common origins of both diseases. It is published online today (2 March 2008) in Nature Genetics. |
