gluten/breast neoplasms

OBJECTIVE To determine the risk of malignancy and mortality in patients with a positive endomysial or anti-gliadin antibody test in Northern Ireland. METHODS A population-based retrospective cohort study design was used. Laboratory test results used in the diagnosis of coeliac disease were obtained

BACKGROUND Dermatitis herpetiformis forms part of the same spectrum of gluten-sensitive disorders as coeliac disease yet may have different risks of morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To quantify the risks of fracture, malignancy and mortality in people with dermatitis herpetiformis compared with
