Validation of a New Innovative Method for Specific Marker Detection in Celiac Disease

"Evaluation of the reliability of the Rapid Intestinal anti-TG2 Assay for revealing anti-TG2 antibodies in duodenal biopsy specimens of patients suffering from CD, especially potential CD in which the diagnosis may be challenging.~Intestinal anti-TG2 will be investigated also in patients suffering from other non-CD related gastrointestinal disorders. Sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios of the Rapid Intestinal anti-TG2 assay will be calculated and compared to the reference standard (serology + histopathology) of CD diagnosis."
