Abstract
To avoid missed diagnoses, the diagnostic algorithm of celiac disease should include at least two serological markers (antigliadin antibodies and antiendomysial and/or antitransglutaminase antibodies) and IgA quantification. Genomic typing should be carried out if one or more markers are positive or if the subject belongs to any of the risk groups. The physician should decide on the advisability of intestinal biopsy on the basis of the patient's clinical and immunological history.
