| Abstract | Background Celiac disease (CD) is triggered by gluten and related prolamines in genetically susceptible individuals. We aimed to investigate the influence of HLA-DQ genotypes in clinical, serological and histological features related to CD. Methods A retrospective observational study was performed including 463 Spanish patients with biopsy-proven CD. Clinical, serological, histological and HLA-DQ genetic data were collected from each participant. The presence of a family history of CD was also considered. Bivariate (chi-square tests or the Fisher’s exact test) and multivariate (logistic regression after adjusting for age and sex) analyses were performed to assess the association between clinical and laboratory parameters with HLA-DQ. Results A predominance of females (62%), classical clinical presentation (86%) and positive anti-transglutaminase 2/endomysium antibodies (99%) was observed in our sample, with a mean age at onset of 2.6 ± 0.1 years. Five percent of our patients were first-degree relatives of subjects with CD, with HLA-DQ genetics showing increased homozygosity of HLA-DQ2.5 (p = 0.03) and HLA-DQ8 (p = 0.09). In the non-CD family history group, an association between delayed disease onset and HLA-DQ8 carriage was observed (p < 0.001), besides an influence of HLA-DQB1*02 gene dosage on clinical presentation and severity of histological damage (after adjusting for age and sex, p = 0.05 and p = 0.02, respectively) and a trend towards presence of specific antibodies (p = 0.09). These associations could not be evaluated properly in the group of patients with affected first-degree relatives due to the small sample size. Conclusions HLA-DQ genotypic frequencies differ slightly between CD patients depending on their family history of CD. In patients lacking CD first-degree relatives, carriage of HLA-DQ2.5 with double dose of HLA-DQB1*02 seems to be associated with classical clinical presentation and more severe histological damage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
