ABSTRACT
Serum autoantibodies to transglutaminase and endomysium are found in the majority of patients with celiac disease, an autoimmune multisystem disorder affecting approximately 1% of Western and Middle-Eastern populations. Detection of these antibodies plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of celiac disease. The aim of this review is to summarize recent publications in this field, with particular focus on the applications and limitations of celiac autoantibody testing in routine clinical practice.
