Popis: Background: Seronegative celiac disease (CD) poses a diagnostic challenge.Aims: Characterize and identify differences between seronegative and seropositive CD.Patients and methods: Retrospective cohort study examining adult patients diagnosed with CD (1980–2017). Clinical, analytical, histological, genetic and immunophenotypic data were compiled. Seronegative CD was defined as a anti-tissue transglutaminase type 2 IgA and endomysial antibodies (EMA) negative and HLA-DQ2 and/or DQ8 positive, showing clinical signs of CD plus an abnormal duodenal biopsy, and responding to a gluten-free diet (GFD). Factors associated with seronegative CD were identified through binomial logistic regression.Results: Of 315 CD patients, 289 were seropositive (91.7%) and 26 seronegative (8.3%). Among the seronegative patients, higher prevalence was observed for autoimmune thyroiditis (26.9% vs. 9.7%, p = .016), HLA-DQ8 heterozygosity (23.1% vs. 2.5%, p ˂ .001) and Marsh I lesion (34.6% vs. 3.7%, p ˂ .001). The two group...
