Mayo Clinic Video Lecure Directed To Physicians Not The General Population. Use Caution In Trying To Understand This!

This is a MAYO CLINIC Video HotTopic lecture, specifically directed to physicians, not the general population.

Be careful in watching this video and trying to understand it without medical knowledge. I misunderstood when I first saw this and confused the TTG with Gliadin IGA and Gliadin IGG tests. The second two (not the TTG) have been replaced with DGP, as it is a newer and better test, if I'm understanding the video correctly. I had to watch it a couple of times and read lots of other things to understand the differences in the test names, etc. And truthfully, they're still confusing to me sometimes. But this is what researchers are telling other doctors about Celiac Disease at this point.

Please watch with CAUTION... don't try to self diagnose. Send this to your doctor if you think it will help. That's what I did, and he thanked me. This answered some questions I had, but I still have tons more.

WARNING!: at the end of the video they ask for PHYSICIAN input and questions. Please DO NOT respond to that, or they will realize that the general public can view it, and probably move it so that we can't refer to it.

This one should work... it works for me.

I reposted the link...and it works for me. Hopefully it will work for everybody that's interested. :)

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.

      With NCGS there isn't villi damage, so it would not be detected via an endoscopy/biopsy. There also may not be high levels of tTG-IgA or tTG-IgG (sometimes they can be elevated, but in the normal range), but these blood tests may be slightly elevated or even high in people with NCGS: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide), but, you can still have it even if all of these tests are normal.

      That all makes sense thank you.    I was within normal ranges - a little on the lower end.  So, the NCGS would still show positive biopsy?
