Abstract
In a prospective study, a test for DGP identified patients with celiac disease with similar levels of sensitivity and specificity as standard serologic analysis of anti-tTG. Use of the DGP test before endoscopy could increase the accuracy of the diagnosis of celiac disease. Further studies, in lower-prevalence populations, are required to assess the impact of the test in clinical practice.
