The article in Diabetes Care explores the diagnostic outcomes of elevated Transglutaminase IgA antibodies in children with newly diagnosed Type 1 Diabetes. The study found that elevated TGA-IgA levels are common at the diagnosis of T1D and do not consistently predict celiac disease. The research suggests repeating serology and pursuing biopsy in children with persistent elevation of TGA-IgA to avoid overdiagnosis of CD in children with newly diagnosed T1D. The study included 358 children with new-onset T1D, with 13.4% having elevated TGA-IgA on diagnosis, and 6.7% having TGA-IgA > 10×ULN. [Extracted from the article]
