Article Synopsis
- The association between celiac disease (CD) and selective immunoglobulin A deficiency (SIgAD) has been recognized for over fifty years, yet accurate diagnosis and monitoring remain challenging.
- The introduction of serological tests revealed that measuring specific IgA antibodies without total serum IgA can miss diagnosing IgA-deficient patients, while specific IgG antibodies may provide additional diagnostic value.
- The 2012 ESPGHAN guidelines improved diagnostic criteria for CD in SIgAD patients but still leave uncertainties regarding patient selection for IgG testing and reliable testing methods, emphasizing the need for improved strategies in diagnosis and management.
Apolipoprotein E genotypes and plasma levels in mild cognitive impairment conversion to Alzheimer's disease: A follow-up study.
Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet
December 2016
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the transition stage between the normal aging process and dementia itself. The most common clinical phenotype is amnestic MCI (aMCI) [subtypes: single domain (sMCI) and multiple domains (mMCI)], which is considered prodromal to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The APOE (apolipoprotein E) e4 allele is the most important genetic risk factor for AD, but its association with MCI onset and conversion to AD is controversial.
