Celiac disease biomarkers identified by transcriptome analysis of small intestinal biopsies

Identification of diagnostic biomarkers by bioinformatics analysis in the inflamed and non-inflamed intestinal mucosa in Crohn\'s disease patients

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which despite the unknown details is generally related to genetic, immune system, and environmental factors. In this study, we identify transcriptional signatures in patients with CD and then explain the potential molecular mechanisms in inflamed and non-inflamed intestinal mucosa in these patients. Materials and Me...

Small-intestinal histopathology and mortality risk in celiac disease.

CONTEXT Studies of mortality in celiac disease have not taken small-intestinal pathology into account. OBJECTIVE To examine mortality in celiac disease according to small-intestinal histopathology. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Retrospective cohort study. We collected data from duodenal/jejunal biopsies taken between July 1969 and February 2008 on celiac disease (Marsh stage 3: villous atro...

Celiac disease: how many biopsies for diagnosis?

Prognostic Biomarkers for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Identified by Analysis of Tumor Transcriptome

BACKGROUND Despite many attempts to establish pre-treatment prognostic markers to understand the clinical biology of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), validated clinical biomarkers or parameters remain elusive. We generated and analyzed tumor transcriptome to develop a practical biomarker prognostic signature in EAC. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Untreated esophageal endoscopic biopsy specime...

The neurologic significance of celiac disease biomarkers.

OBJECTIVE To report neurologic phenotypes and their etiologies determined among 68 patients with either (1) celiac disease (CD) or (2) no CD, but gliadin antibody positivity (2002-2012). METHODS Neurologic patients included both those with the CD-prerequisite major histocompatibility complex class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2/DQ8 haplotype, and those without. The 3 groups were as foll...
