Description : Celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is a
multifactorial disorder of the small intestine that is influenced by both environmental
and genetic factors. It is characterized by malabsorption resulting from inflammatory
injury to the mucosa of the small intestine after the ingestion of wheat gluten or
related rye and barley proteins (summary by Farrell and Kelly, 2002). Long regarded
as gastrointestinal disorder of childhood, the disease is now considered to be a chronic
systemic autoimmune disease and is more often diagnosed in adults than in children
(Monsuur et al., 2005). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of celiac disease,
