Asymptomatic Celiac Disease in Children with Trisomy 21 at 26 Months of Age or Less
Authors
Abstract:
We report three cases of asymptomatic celiac disease identified in children with Down syndrome after being screened at around twenty-four months of age. These cases raise the question as to what age is screening for celiac disease indicated in a child with Down syndrome and no symptoms.

Background We aimed to investigate the frequency of celiac disease in children with β-thalassemia major (B-TM) in Shiraz, southern Iran. Materials and Methods In this study, the prevalence of celiac disease in children with B-TM was evaluated. Children with BTM were screened for celiac disease by ant-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) IgA antibody, IgA level and anti-tTG IgG. A total o...

Villous atrophy, leads to malabsorption, which is due to decreased absorption levels. The first bowel symptoms are seen during the first 2 years of life. Currently, the only treatment is to compliance with a glut...

BACKGROUND This study measured lymphocyte mitochondrial O(2) consumption (cellular respiration) in children with trisomy 21. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from whole blood of trisomy 21 and control children and these cells were immediately used to measure cellular respiration rate. [O(2)] was determined as a function of time from the phosphorescence decay rates (1/τ...

Patients with Down syndrome (DS) display a unique spectrum of malignancies, with a 10- to 20-fold higher risk of acute leukemias, and a markedly lower incidence of solid tumors. This review discusses the current understanding of the basis for this distinctive pattern of cancer incidence and the clinical and biologic features of the malignant disorders most frequent in DS individuals: transient ...
