چکیده
Coeliac disease is uncommon in childhood and diagnosed in fewer than 1 in 2500 children in the United Kingdom. Subclinical disease is, however, common in adults, and can be detected by testing for serum IgA antiendomysial antibodies (IgA-EMA). We aimed to establish the prevalence of undiagnosed coeliac disease in the general population at age seven, and to look for associated clinical features.
