OBJECTIVE: To establish the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in girls with Turner syndrome (TS) in British Columbia.METHODS: Forty-five girls with TS were prospectively screened for CD using blinded testing with the current ’gold standard’ - immunoglobulin A (IgA) endomysium antibody (EmA) and the novel IgA tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG). Those with positive results were offered small bowel biopsies, and a gluten-free diet was recommended if CD was confirmed.RESULTS: One asymptomatic prepubertal East Indian girl was positive for EmA, had an elevated tTG concentration of 560 U/mL and histological evidence of CD. Seven girls were negative for EmA but had elevated tTG concentrations (175 to 250 U/mL); five were white, one was Asian and one was East Indian. Small bowel biopsies were performed on three girls, and the histologies were normal. The remaining four patients declined biopsy.CONCLUSIONS: One girl with TS was identified with CD from 45 screened, giving an overall biopsy-confirmed prevalence of 2.2%. This study confirms previous observations placing girls with TS at higher risk for CD and suggests a similar high prevalence in British Columbia.
