Celiac disease (CD) is a complex disorder influenced by genetic and environmental factors. When people with a genetic predisposition to CD consume gluten, an inflammatory response is triggered in the small intestine, and this reaction can be alleviated by the elimination of gluten from the diet. The clinical manifestations of CD vary greatly from person to person and begin at a young age or in adulthood. Influence of genetic factors on CD development is evident in carriers of the DQ2 and/or DQ8 allele. HLA genotypes are associated with gut colonization by bacteria, particularly in individuals suffering from CD. In addition, beneficial gut microbes are crucial for the production of DPP-4, which plays a key role in immune function, as well as metabolic and intestinal health. Therefore, probiotics have been recommended as a complementary food supplement in CD.

The gut microbiome is essential for children's normal growth and development, with its formation aligning closely with key stages of growth. Factors like birth method, feeding practices, and antibiotic exposure significantly shape the composition and functionality of the infant gut microbiome. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) involves an abnormal increase in bacteria within the small intestine.

: The link between celiac disease (CD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been well-documented in the medical literature and is thought to be due to a shared genetic predisposition in addition to environmental triggers. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence and biopsy-proven CD (PBCD) prevalence in individuals with T1D from Saudi Arabia and identify their clinical characteristics and the impact on glycemic control. : A total of 969 children and adolescents with confirmed T1D were investigated.

Background: Coeliac Disease (CD) affects up to 1.4% of children worldwide, with a rising global incidence. A less typical clinical presentation and the need for a life-long gluten exclusion diet raise challenges for diagnosis, management, and healthcare delivery with considerable impacts for CD patients and families as well as clinical services.

White-Sutton syndrome (WHSUS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by heterozygous variants in the POGZ gene. With slightly over 100 reported cases, the diagnosis of WHSUS remains challenging due to its variable and non-specific clinical features. We report a novel case of WHSUS carrying a heterozygous de novo variant in the POGZ gene and with characteristic clinical features including global developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, generalised myoclonic epilepsy, hypotonia and distinct dysmorphic features.
