Objective: To determine the genetic profile of celiac disease (CD) in Libyan children with type 1 diabetes as there are no data on the frequency of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-related CD-predisposing genes in diabetic patients in Libya.
Methods: We randomly studied 218 Libyan type 1 diabetic children. The mean age was 12.
