Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease. Increased cardiovascular morbidity has been reported in coeliac disease, but in DH only little is known about this. In this cohort study with a long-term follow-up, the risk for vascular diseases in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and coeliac disease was assessed. METHODS The study consisted of 368 DH and 1072 coeliac disease patients with biopsy-proven diagnosis performed between 1966 and 2000. For each DH and coeliac disease patient three matched reference individuals were obtained from the population register. Data regarding all outpatient and inpatient treatment periods between 1970 and 2015 were reviewed for diagnostic codes of vascular diseases from the Care Register for Health Care. Cox proportional hazard model was used to assess the risks for the diseases studied and the HRs were adjusted for diabetes mellitus (aHR). RESULTS The median follow-up time of DH and coeliac disease patients was 46 years. The risk for cardiovascular diseases did not differ between DH patients and their references (aHR 1.16, 95% CI 0.91-1.47), but among coeliac disease patients, the risk was increased (aHR 1.36, 95% CI 1.16-1.59). The risk for cerebrovascular diseases was found to be decreased in DH patients when compared with references (aHR 0.68, 95% CI 0.47-0.99) and increased in coeliac disease patients (aHR 1.33, 95% CI 1.07-1.66). The risk for venous thrombosis was increased in coeliac disease patients (aHR 1.62, 95% CI 1.22-2.16) but not in DH. CONCLUSIONS The risk for vascular complications appears to differ between DH and coeliac disease. In DH the risk for cerebrovascular diseases seems to be decreased, while in coeliac disease an elevated risk for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases was observed. These differing vascular risk profiles between the two manifestations of the same disease merit further investigation.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an inflammatory skin disorder often considered as an extra intestinal manifestation of celiac disease (CeD). Hallmarks of CeD and DH are auto-antibodies to transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and transglutaminase 3 (TG3), respectively. DH patients have auto-antibodies reactive with both transglutaminase enzymes. Here it is reported that in DH both gut plasma cells and serum auto-antibodies are specific for either TG2 or TG3 with no TG2-TG3 cross reactivity. By generating monoclonal antibodies from TG3-specific duodenal plasma cells of DH patients, three conformational epitope groups are defined. Both TG2-specific and TG3-specific gut plasma cells have few immunoglobulin (Ig) mutations, and the two transglutaminase-reactive populations show distinct selection of certain heavy and light chain V-genes. Mass spectrometry analysis of TG3-specific serum IgA corroborates preferential usage of IGHV2-5 in combination with IGKV4-1. Collectively, these results demonstrate parallel induction of anti-TG2 and anti-TG3 auto-antibody responses involving separate B-cell populations in DH patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The current knowledge on the associations between coeliac disease and different skin diseases is contradictory and the patient's perspective on the burden of these is lacking. This study aimed to investigate patient-reported frequency, severity and quality of life effects of skin disorders in coeliac disease patients compared to controls and moreover to study the impacts of gluten-free diet on these skin diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study questionnaire designed for the purposes of this study and a validated Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire were posted to 600 adult members of the Finnish Coeliac Society and 1173 matched controls. Responses from 327 coeliac disease patients and 382 non-coeliac controls were compared. RESULTS Coeliac disease patients were shown to be at no increased risk of atopic dermatitis, acne, rosacea, psoriasis, alopecia areata, vitiligo or chronic urticaria. The severity of these skin diseases did not differ between study groups, but the risk for at least moderate effects on quality of life caused by dermatological diseases was increased among those with coeliac disease. Positive response from gluten-free diet was most commonly experienced by coeliac disease patients with atopic dermatitis. CONCLUSIONS Even though the risk for skin diseases was shown not to be increased among coeliac disease patients, there is still an increased burden related to experienced skin symptoms among these patients, which non-dermatologists treating coeliac disease patients should acknowledge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Celiac disease has been associated with increased mortality, but data on long-term mortality are scarce. AIMS To determine long-term mortality in celiac disease. METHODS The study cohort consisted of all celiac disease patients (n=1,392) diagnosed in Tampere University Hospital catchment area 1960 - 2000. Patients were categorized into subgroups based on demographic (age, gender, decade of diagnosis) and celiac disease characteristics (e.g., phenotype, severity of villous atrophy) collected from medical records. Overall and cause-specific mortality was compared to those of age-, sex-, and place of residence matched reference individuals (n=4,177) over time. RESULTS During the 41 years of follow-up (median 26.5 years), 376 celiac disease patients and 1,155 reference individuals died. All-cause mortality was not increased (hazard ratio (HR) 0.96, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.85-1.08). Mortality from lymphoproliferative diseases and diseases of the central nervous system was increased (HR 2.42, 95% CI 1.38-4.24 and HR 2.14, 95% CI 1.05-4.36 respectively) while the risk from alcohol related diseases was decreased (HR 0.31, 95% CI 0.09-1.00). Examination of various celiac disease phenotypes revealed no significant differences in mortality CONCLUSIONS: Overall mortality was not increased in any celiac disease phenotype during a very long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased risk of kidney disease in patients with celiac disease has been reported, but the association has remained obscure. Only few studies have investigated the association between renal comorbidities and dermatitis herpetiformis, a cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease. OBJECTIVES We investigated whether patients with different phenotypes of celiac disease are at higher risk of kidney diseases than age- and sex-matched references. METHODS The diagnoses of glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, interstitial nephritis, and end-stage renal disease obtained from the National Hospital Discharge Register between 1970 and 2015 were identified in celiac disease (Marsh III, n = 1072) and dermatitis herpetiformis (n = 368) patients diagnosed at Tampere University Hospital catchment region and in 4296 reference subjects. Using the Cox proportional hazards model, we compared the risk of kidney diseases between patients and references. The study protocol was approved by the Regional Ethics Committee of Tampere University Hospital (R16090). As the study was register based, no consent from patients was required. RESULTS Even after adjusting for type 1 diabetes, celiac disease was associated with an elevated risk of kidney disease (hazard ratio [HR] 1.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-3.03), glomerulonephritis (HR 3.37, 95% CI 1.64-6.95), and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (HR 18.98, 95% CI 2.29-157.63). No similarly elevated risk was found among dermatitis herpetiformis patients (HR 1.50, 95% CI 0.63-3.55; HR 2.21, 95% CI 0.77-6.38; and HR 5.87, 95% CI 0.53-64.79, respectively). CONCLUSION Celiac disease patients were at increased risk of kidney diseases, notably IgAN. The risk was dependent on the celiac disease phenotype and was not seen in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis. Awareness of possible renal manifestations is recommended when treating celiac disease patients.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis is a blistering autoimmune skin disease, and a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease. The burden of coeliac disease is increased especially in females, but studies concerning sex differences in patients with long-term treated dermatitis herpetiformis are scarce. This questionnaire study compared adherence to a gluten-free diet, clinical symptoms and well-being between females and males in a cohort of 237 long-term treated (median 24 years) patients with dermatitis herpetiformis. Females had better adherence to a gluten-free diet (p = 0.022) and they used dapsone significantly less often at the time of the study than did males (4% vs 13%, p = 0.017). The occurrence of skin symptoms was equal in both sexes, but dermatological quality of life was lower in females (p = 0.024), and gastrointestinal symptoms were more severe among females with dermatitis herpetiformis than among males (p = 0.027). In conclusion, long-term treated female patients with dermatitis herpetiformis have better adherence to a gluten-free diet, but they also experience more severe clinical symptoms compared with males.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Albeit the association between renal disorders and celiac disease is still somewhat contradictory, an elevated risk of kidney diseases in patients with celiac disease has been shown [1, 2, 3]. Only case reports have described the link between glomerulonephritis and dermatitis herpetiformis, a cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease [4]. This study aimed to evaluate whether patients with various phenotypes of celiac disease have an increased risk of renal co-morbidities compared with matched references.
METHODS: The diagnoses of glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, interstitial nephritis and end-stage renal disease were collected from the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register from 1970 to 2015 among 1440 celiac disease patients and 4296 age- and sex-matched references. Further, patients were divided into two cohorts, dermatitis herpetiformis and any other phenotype of celiac disease. We used Cox proportional-hazards model to compare the risk of renal co-morbidities between patients and reference individuals.
RESULTS
Celiac disease was positively associated with renal disorders even after adjusting for type 1 diabetes [hazard ratio (HR) 1.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18–2.76]. A 3-fold and 12-fold risk increase were seen for glomerulonephritis and IgA nephropathy, respectively. A similar risk increase for renal co-morbidities in dermatitis herpetiformis was not shown.
CONCLUSIONS: Celiac disease was associated with an increased risk of renal co-morbidities, especially glomerulonephritis. The risk depends on the phenotype of celiac disease. The possible association between renal disorders and celiac disease should be investigated more in the future and kept in mind also in clinical practice.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is the skin manifestation of celiac disease, presenting with a blistering rash typically on the knees, elbows, buttocks and scalp. In both DH and celiac disease, exposure to dietary gluten triggers a cascade of events resulting in the production of autoantibodies against the transglutaminase (TG) enzyme, mainly TG2 but often also TG3. The latter is considered to be the primary autoantigen in DH. The dynamics of the development of the TG2-targeted autoimmune response have been studied in depth in celiac disease, but the immunological process underlying DH pathophysiology is incompletely understood. Part of this process is the occurrence of granular deposits of IgA and TG3 in the perilesional skin. While this serves as the primary diagnostic finding in DH, the role of these immunocomplexes in the pathogenesis is unknown. Intriguingly, even though gluten-intolerance likely develops initially in a similar manner in both DH and celiac disease, after the onset of the disease, its manifestations differ widely.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis is a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease treated with a gluten-free diet. However, the itching and blistering rash alleviates slowly after gluten withdrawal and occasionally persists despite a long-term gluten-free diet. This study investigated the prevalence and factors associated with prolonged (i.e. > 2 years) and ongoing skin symptoms in 237 patients with dermatitis herpetiformis. Data were gathered from medical records and via questionnaires. Among patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, 38% had prolonged symptoms after diagnosis, and 14% had ongoing skin symptoms at follow-up (median duration of gluten-free diet 24 years). A severe rash at diagnosis was associated with both prolonged and ongoing cutaneous symptoms. In addition, patients with dermatitis herpetiformis with ongoing skin symptoms at follow-up had been on the dietary treatment for a shorter time (median duration 16 vs 25 years) and were less often on a strict diet (53% vs 78%) compared with patients with dermatitis herpetiformis without ongoing skin symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease with high heritability. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified several loci predisposing to AD. These findings explain approximately 30% of the variance in AD susceptibility, suggesting that further work is required to fully understand the genetic underpinnings. OBJECTIVE We sought to gain additional understanding of the genetic contribution to AD risk by using biobank resources. METHODS We completed a genome-wide meta-analysis of AD in 796,661 individuals (Ncases = 22,474) from the FinnGen study, the Estonian Biobank, and the UK Biobank. We further performed downstream in silico analyses to characterize the risk variants at the novel loci. RESULTS We report 30 loci associating with AD (P < 5 × 10-8), 5 of which are novel. In 2 of the novel loci, we identified missense mutations with deleterious predictions in desmocollin 1 and serpin family B member 7, genes encoding proteins crucial to epidermal strength and integrity. CONCLUSIONS These findings elucidate novel genetic pathways involved in AD pathophysiology. The likely involvement of desmocollin 1 and serpin family B member 7 in AD pathogenesis may offer opportunities for the development of novel treatment strategies for AD in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a chronic, pruritic, gluten-induced skin disorder characterized by subepidermal granular IgA deposition and a variable degree of enteropathy identical to that seen in coeliac disease. So far, there has been no European consensus about the management of DH. METHODS The guidelines were created by small subgroups of a guideline committee consisting of 26 specialists from various medical fields and one patients' representative. The members of the committee then discussed the guidelines and voted for the final version at two consensus meetings. The guidelines were developed under the support of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) and in collaboration with the European Dermatology Forum (EDF). RESULTS The guidelines summarize evidence-based and expert-based recommendations (S2 level) for the management of DH (see Appendix). CONCLUSION These guidelines will improve the quality of management of DH and support dermatologists in their diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), presenting with an intense itch and blistering symmetrical rash, typically on the elbows, knees, and buttocks, is a cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease. Though overt gastrointestinal symptoms are rare, three-fourths of patients with DH have villous atrophy in the small bowel, and the rest have celiac-type inflammatory changes. DH affects mostly adults and slightly more males than females. The mean age at onset is about 50 years. DH diagnosis is confirmed by showing granular immunoglobulin A deposits in the papillary dermis. The DH autoantigen, transglutaminase 3, is deposited at the same site in tightly bound immune complexes. At present, the DH-to-celiac disease prevalence is 1:8. The incidence of DH is decreasing, whereas that of celiac disease is increasing, probably because of improved diagnostics. In DH, the treatment of choice for all patients is a gluten-free diet (GFD) in which uncontaminated oats are allowed. At onset, most patients need additional dapsone to rapidly control the rash and itching. Dapsone can be stopped after a mean of 2 years, and a strict lifelong GFD alone is required. Dietary adherence offers an excellent long-term prognosis for patients with DH, with a normal quality of life and all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis is a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease. Anaemia is a common finding in patients with untreated coeliac disease, but little is known about the occurrence of anaemia in those with dermatitis herpetiformis. This study investigated the prevalence of anaemia and factors associated with anaemia in 250 patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, at diagnosis and one year after diagnosis. As controls, 139 patients with coeliac disease were included. Patient records were reviewed to gather baseline clinical, histological, and laboratory data. Follow-up data for patients with dermatitis herpetiformis were collected from patient records and via questionnaires or at follow-up visits. The prevalence of anaemia was 12% in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and 17% in patients with coeliac disease at diagnosis (p = 0.257). Anaemia in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis was not associated with the severity of skin symptoms or small bowel damage. The prevalence of anaemia at a 1-year follow-up had increased to 19%, but it was associated mainly with dapsone treatment.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis is a cutaneous form of celiac disease manifesting as an itching rash typically on the elbows, knees and buttocks. It is driven by the ingestion of gluten-containing cereals and characterized by granular deposits of immunoglobulin A in the papillary dermis. These antibodies target transglutaminase (TG) 3 and in the majority of patients they are also found in circulation. The circulating antibodies disappear and skin symptoms resolve as a result of gluten-free diet but the cutaneous anti-TG3 IgA deposits may persist for several years. In dermatitis herpetiformis, plasma cells secreting antibodies against TG3 are located in the intestinal mucosa similarly to those producing TG2 antibodies characteristic for celiac disease. In fact, both TG2- and TG3-specific plasma cells and gluten responsive T cells are found in dermatitis herpetiformis patients but the interplay between these cell populations is unknown. The small bowel mucosal damage in celiac disease is believed to be mediated by co-operation of cytotoxic intraepithelial T cells and the inflammatory milieu contributed by gluten-reactive CD4+ T cells, whereas the skin lesions in dermatitis herpetiformis appear to be devoid of gluten reactive T cells. Thus, how celiac disease-type intestinal T and B cell responses develop into an autoimmune condition affecting the skin is still incompletely understood. Finally, the skin and small bowel lesions may reappear upon reintroduction of gluten in patients treated with gluten-free diet but virtually nothing is known about the long-lived B cell and memory T cell populations activating in response to dietary gluten in dermatitis herpetiformis.

Abstract
The clinical phenotype of celiac disease varies considerably among patients and the dosage of HLA-DQ2.5 alleles has been suggested to be a contributing factor. We investigated whether HLA-DQ2.5 allele dosage is associated with distinct clinical parameters at the time of diagnosis and with patients’ response to a gluten-free diet. The final cohort included 605 carefully phenotyped non-related Finnish celiac disease patients grouped as having 0, 1 or 2 copies of HLA-DQ2.5. Clinical data at the time of diagnosis and during gluten-free diet were collected systematically from medical records and supplementary interviews. An increasing HLA-DQ2.5 dose effect was detected for celiac disease antibody positivity at diagnosis (p = 0.021) and for the presence of any first-degree relatives with celiac disease (p = 0.011 and p = 0.031, respectively). Instead, DQ2.5-negative patients were suffering most often from classical symptoms at diagnosis (p = 0.007 between HLA groups). In addition, during follow-up they were most often symptomatic despite a gluten-free diet (p = 0.002 between groups). Our results thus suggest that increasing HLA-DQ2.5 dose only has a minor effect on the clinical picture of celiac disease. However, HLA-DQ2.5-negative patients should not be overlooked in clinical practice and particular attention should be paid to this patient group during gluten-free diet.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an extraintestinal manifestation of coeliac disease (CD). Patients with DH have an elevated risk of development of another autoimmune blistering skin disease, bullous pemphigoid (BP). In this study we investigated whether patients with DH and CD (mean age for both 49 years) have circulating autoantibodies against BP180, the major BP autoantigen. ELISA tests showed that only a few DH (3/46) and CD (2/43) patients had BP180-NC16A IgG autoantibodies. Immunoblotting found that more than half of the DH samples contained IgG autoantibodies against full-length BP180. Epitope mapping with 13 fusion proteins covering the BP180 polypeptide revealed that in DH and CD patients, IgG autoantibodies did not target the NC16A or other epitopes typical of BP but recognized other intracellular and mid-extracellular regions of BP180. None of the analyzed DH and CD patients with either ELISA or immunoblotting positivity had IgG or IgA reactivity against the cutaneous basement membrane in indirect immunofluorescence analysis or skin symptoms characteristic of BP. Although only a minority of middle-aged DH patients had IgG autoantibodies against the immunodominant epitopes of BP180, our results do not exclude the possibility that intermolecular epitope spreading could explain the switch from DH to BP in elderly patients.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an autoimmune skin disease that causes itchy, blistering rash, typically on the elbows, knees and buttocks. DH and coeliac disease share the same genetic background, glutendependent enteropathy and antibody response against tissue transglutaminase. DH is currently considered a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease, and the prevailing hypothesis is that DH develops as a late manifestation of subclinical coeliac disease. The incidence of DH is decreasing contemporarily with the increasing incidence of coeliac disease. The IgA immune response in DH skin is directed against epidermal transglutaminase, while the autoantigen in the gut is tissue transglutaminase. Granular IgA deposition in the papillary dermis is pathognomonic for DH, and is a finding used to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment of choice for DH is a life-long gluten-free diet, which resolves the rash and enteropathy, increases quality of life, and offers a good long-term prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Circulatory arrest carries a high risk of neurological damage, but modern monitoring methods lack reliability, and is susceptible to the generalized effects of both anesthesia and hypothermia. The objective of this prospective, explorative study was to research promising, reliable, and noninvasive methods of neuromonitoring, capable of predicting neurological outcome after hypothermic circulatory arrest. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients undergoing hypothermic circulatory arrest during surgery of the thoracic aorta were recruited in a single center and over the course of 4 years. Neuromonitoring was performed with a four-channel electroencephalogram montage and a near-infrared spectroscopy monitor. All data were tested off-line against primary neurological outcome, which was poor if the patient suffered a significant neurological complication (stroke, operative death). RESULTS A poor primary neurological outcome seen in 10 (33%) patients. A majority (63%) of the cases were emergency surgery, and thus, no neurological baseline evaluation was possible. The frontal hemispheric asymmetry of electroencephalogram, as measured by the brain symmetry index, predicted primary neurological outcome with a sensitivity of 79 (interquartile range; 62%-88%) and specificity of 71 (interquartile range; 61%-84%) during the first 6 h after end of circulatory arrest. CONCLUSION The hemispheric asymmetry of frontal electroencephalogram is inherently resistant to generalized dampening effects and is predictive of primary neurological outcome. The brain symmetry index provides an easy-to-use, noninvasive neuromonitoring method for surgery of the thoracic aorta and postoperative intensive care.

Abstract
Objectives: Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a cutaneous manifestation of coeliac disease. Bone fracture risk is increased in coeliac disease, but little knowledge exists about bone complications in DH. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of hip and other hospital-treated fractures in DH and coeliac disease in a high prevalence area with good adherence to a gluten-free diet. Materials and methods: Hip, proximal humerus, wrist and ankle fractures in 368 treated DH and 1076 coeliac disease patients between 1970 and 2015 were reviewed from the National Hospital Discharge Register. Hip fracture incidence rates for DH and coeliac disease patients were compared to those for the general population. The overall fracture risk for DH was compared to coeliac disease. Results: The hip fracture incidence rates for DH and coeliac disease patients did not differ from the general population. In females aged 80-89, the hip fracture incidence was higher in DH than in coeliac disease, but the risk for any hospital-treated fracture was lower in DH compared to coeliac disease (adjusted HR 0.620, 95% CI 0.429-0.949). The DH and coeliac disease patients with hospital-treated fractures were diagnosed at an older age, but the degree of small bowel mucosal damage did not significantly differ between patients with and without fractures. Conclusion: The incidence of hip fracture is not increased in treated DH or coeliac disease in an area with high awareness and dietary compliance rates. However, patients with DH seem to have a lower risk for fractures overall compared to coeliac disease.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an extraintestinal manifestation of celiac disease causing an itchy, blistering rash. Granular IgA deposits in the skin are pathognomonic for DH, and the treatment of choice is a lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD). Preliminary evidence suggests that there are patients with DH who redevelop gluten tolerance after adherence to a GFD treatment. To evaluate this, we performed a 12-month gluten challenge with skin and small-bowel mucosal biopsy samples in 19 patients with DH who had adhered to a GFD for a mean of 23 years. Prechallenge biopsy was negative for skin IgA and transglutaminase 3 deposits in 16 patients (84%) and indicated normal villous height-to-crypt depth ratios in the small bowel mucosa in all 19 patients. The gluten challenge caused a relapse of the rash in 15 patients (79%) in a mean of 5.6 months; of these 15 patients, 13 had skin IgA and transglutaminase 3 deposits, and 12 had small-bowel villous atrophy. In addition, three patients without rash or immune deposits in the skin developed villous atrophy, whereas one patient persisted without any signs of relapse. In conclusion, 95% of the patients with DH were unable to tolerate gluten even after long-term adherence to a GFD. Therefore, lifelong GFD treatment remains justified in all patients with DH.

Abstract
The factors determining the presentation of celiac disease are unclear. We investigated the phenotypic concordance and the distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) risk haplotypes in affected siblings. One hundred sibling pairs were included. Clinical and histological parameters and HLA haplotypes were compared between the first diagnosed indexes and their siblings. The phenotype was categorized into gastrointestinal, extra-intestinal, malabsorption/anemia, and asymptomatic. The phenotype was fully concordant in 21 pairs. The most common concordant phenotype was gastrointestinal (14 pairs). Indexes had more anemia/malabsorption and extra-intestinal symptoms than siblings (45% vs. 20%, p < 0.001 and 33% vs. 12%, p < 0.001, respectively). Twenty siblings and none of the indexes were asymptomatic. The indexes were more often women (81% vs. 63%, p = 0.008). They were also more often seronegative (11% vs. 0%, p = 0.03) and younger (37 vs. 43 year, p < 0.001), and had more severe histopathology (total/subtotal atrophy 79% vs. 58%, p = 0.047) at diagnosis. The indexes and siblings were comparable in other disease features. Pairs with discordant presentation had similar HLA haplotypes more often than the concordant pairs. The phenotype was observed to vary markedly between siblings, with the indexes generally having a more severe presentation. HLA did not explain the differences, suggesting that non-HLA genes and environmental factors play significant roles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The revised paediatric criteria for coeliac disease allow omission of duodenal biopsies in symptomatic children who have specific serology and coeliac disease-associated genetics. It remains unclear whether this approach is also applicable for adults with various clinical presentations. AIM To evaluate the accuracy of serology-based criteria in adults with variable pre-test probabilities for coeliac disease. METHODS Three study cohorts comprised adults with high-risk clinical coeliac disease suspicion (n = 421), moderate-risk family members of coeliac disease patients (n = 2357), and low-risk subjects from the general population (n = 2722). Serological and clinical data were collected, and "triple criteria" for coeliac disease comprised transglutaminase 2 antibodies >10× the upper limit of normal, positive endomysium antibodies, and appropriate genetics without requirement of symptoms. The diagnosis was based on intestinal biopsy. RESULTS The diagnosis of coeliac disease was established in 274 subjects. Of these, 59 high-risk subjects, 17 moderate-risk subjects, and 14 low-risk subjects fulfilled the "triple criteria". All had histologically proven coeliac disease, giving the criteria a positive predictive value of 100%. Altogether, 90 (33%) of all 274 newly diagnosed patients could have avoided biopsy, including 37% among high-risk, 20% among moderate-risk, and 48% among low-risk patients. No histological findings other than coeliac disease were found in the biopsies of "triple positive" subjects. CONCLUSIONS Coeliac disease can reliably and safely be diagnosed without biopsy in adults fulfilling the "triple criteria" regardless of the pre-test probability. Revised criteria would enable the number of endoscopies to be reduced by one-third.

Background In coeliac disease, ingestion of gluten induces the production of transglutaminase 2 (TG2)-targeted autoantibodies by TG2-specific plasma cells present at high frequency in the small intestinal mucosa in untreated disease. During treatment with a gluten-free diet (GFD), the number of these cells decreases considerably. It has not been previously investigated whether the cells are also present prior to development of villous atrophy, or in non-responsive patients and those with dietary lapses. We aimed to define the frequency of small bowel mucosal TG2-specific plasma cells in coeliac disease patients with varying disease activity, and to investigate whether the frequency correlates with serum and small intestinal TG2-targeting antibodies as well as mucosal morphology and the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes. Results Mucosal TG2-specific plasma cells were found in 79% of patients prior to development of mucosal damage, in all patients with villous atrophy, and in 63% of the patients after 1 year on GFD. In these disease stages, TG2-specific plasma cells accounted for median of 2.3, 4.3, and 0.7% of all mucosal plasma cells, respectively. After long-term treatment, the cells were present in 20% of the patients in clinical remission (median 0%) and in 60% of the patients with poor dietary adherence (median 5.8%). In patients with non-responsive coeliac disease despite strict GFD, the cells were found in only one (9%) subject; the cells accounted for 2.4% of all plasma cells. A positive correlation between the percentage of TG2-specific plasma cells and serum TG2 antibody levels (rS = 0.69, P < 0.001) and the intensity of mucosal TG2-targeting IgA deposits (rS = 0.43, P < 0.001) was observed. Conclusions Our results show that TG2-specific plasma cells are already detectable prior to villous atrophy, and that generally their frequency increases during overt disease. By contrast, on GFD, the percentage of these cells decreases. Overall, the presence of TG2-specific plasma cells in the small bowel mucosa mirrors the presence of gluten in the diet, but the frequency is not always parallel to the level of serum or intestinal TG2 antibodies. These findings increase the knowledge about the development of the TG2 plasma cell responses especially in the early phases of coeliac disease.

Abstract
Coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) are characterized by autoantibodies targeting transglutaminase (TG)2 and TG3, respectively. Previous studies show that TG2 antibodies are produced in the gut and can be assessed in organ culture of small-intestinal biopsies from patients with coeliac disease. Thus far, no studies have investigated TG3 antibodies in organ culture of biopsies from patients with DH, or exploited the method in DH. The aim of this study was to investigate TG3 and TG2 antibody responses in serum and small-intestinal biopsies from patients with DH with active disease, and from those in remission. The majority of patients with DH were negative for both serum and organ culture medium TG2-targeting antibodies. Surprisingly, patients with active DH secreted TG3 antibodies into the culture medium despite seronegativity. In patients secreting high levels of TG3 antibodies into the culture medium, we also detected TG3-antibody-positive cells in the small-intestinal mucosa. These findings suggest that TG3 antibodies can be investigated in the organ culture system and that their secretion occurs in the small intestine, especially in active DH.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an extra-intestinal manifestation of coeliac disease. The highest currently reported prevalence of DH is in Finland, but knowledge of diagnostic delay is limited. This study investigated the duration of rash prior to diagnosis in 446 patients with DH, analysing the results in 3 periods of 15 years. The diagnosis was considered delayed when the duration of rash before diagnosis was 2 years or longer. Factors associated with delayed diagnosis were analysed. Within the 45 years, the median duration of rash before diagnosis decreased significantly, from 12.0 to 8.0 months (p?=?0.002) and the occurrence of a delayed diagnosis decreased from 47% to 25% (p?=?0.002). Female sex, the presence of villous atrophy, and a diagnosis of DH before the year 2000 were significantly associated with delayed diagnosis. In conclusion, the present study showed that one-quarter of patients currently have a diagnostic delay of 2 years or more, which is far from ideal.

Abstract
Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency is genetically heterogenous metabolic disease with mutations in genes involved in electron transfer to the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Disease symptoms vary from severe neonatal form to late-onset presentation with metabolic acidosis, lethargy, vomiting, muscle pain and weakness. Riboflavin therapy has been shown to ameliorate diseases symptoms in some of these patients. Recently, mutations in FAD synthase have been described to cause multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency. We describe here the effect of riboflavin supplementation therapy in a previously reported adult patient with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency having compound heterozygous gene variations in FLAD1 (MIM: 610595) encoding FAD synthase. We present thorough clinical history including laboratory investigations, muscle MRI, muscle biopsy and spiroergometric analyses comprising of a follow-up of 20 years. Our data suggest that patients with adult-onset multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency with FLAD1 gene mutations also benefit from long-term riboflavin therapy.

Abstract
Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is an extraintestinal manifestation of coeliac disease. The burden of illness in untreated coeliac disease is known to be considerable, but corresponding evidence for DH is lacking. In this study the burden of DH was evaluated prospectively in 52 patients newly diagnosed with DH using a study questionnaire and a validated Psychological General Well-Being (PGWB) questionnaire. The PGWB scores were compared with those of 110 healthy controls. Quality of life was significantly (p < 0.001) lower among patients with DH at the time of diagnosis, but after 1 year on a gluten-free diet their quality of life was at same level as that of the controls. The presence of gastrointestinal symptoms was shown to significantly increase the burden of untreated DH. We conclude that there is a significant burden related to untreated, but not to treated, DH, and the burden is even greater among DH patients with gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is a cutaneous manifestation of celiac disease. Both conditions are treated with a restrictive life-long gluten-free diet (GFD). Treated celiac disease patients have been shown to have more severe gastrointestinal symptoms and inferior quality of life compared with healthy controls, but evidence regarding quality of life in DH is lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate whether long-term GFD-treated DH patients suffer from persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and if they experience a drawdown in quality of life. METHODS Gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life were assessed in 78 long-term GFD-treated DH patients using the validated Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale, Psychological General Well-Being and Short Form 36 Health Survey questionnaires. The findings were compared with 110 healthy controls, population-based reference values and 371 treated celiac disease controls. RESULTS The median age of the DH patients at the time of the study was 57 years, and 51 % were male. Significant differences in gastrointestinal symptoms or quality of life were not detected when treated DH patients were compared with healthy controls, but treated DH patients had less severe gastrointestinal symptoms and increased quality of life compared with celiac disease controls. Female DH patients had more severe gastrointestinal symptoms and reduced vitality compared with male DH patients. The presence of skin symptoms and the adherence to or duration of GFD did not have any influence on gastrointestinal symptoms or quality of life. CONCLUSION We conclude that long-term GFD-treated DH patients do not suffer from the burden of dietary treatment and have a quality of life comparable to that of controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES A significant fraction of celiac disease patients suffer from persistent symptoms despite a long-term gluten-free diet (GFD) and normalized small bowel mucosa. The commonly suggested reasons, such as inadvertent gluten-intake or presence of other gastrointestinal disease, do not explain the symptoms in all these patients. Recently, alterations in intestinal microbiota have been associated with autoimmune disorders, including celiac disease. This led us to test a hypothesis that abnormal intestinal microbiota may be associated with persisting gastrointestinal symptoms in treated celiac disease patients. METHODS Duodenal microbiota was analyzed in 18 GFD-treated patients suffering from persistent symptoms and 18 treated patients without symptoms by 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing. The celiac disease patients had been following a strict GFD for several years and had restored small bowel mucosa and negative celiac autoantibodies. Their symptoms on GFD were assessed with Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale. RESULTS The results of several clustering methods showed that the treated celiac disease patients with persistent symptoms were colonized by different duodenal microbiota in comparison with patients without symptoms. The treated patients with persistent symptoms had a higher relative abundance of Proteobacteria (P=0.04) and a lower abundance of Bacteroidetes (P=0.01) and Firmicutes (P=0.05). Moreover, their microbial richness was reduced. The results indicated intestinal dysbiosis in patients with persistent symptoms even while adhering to a strict GFD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that dysbiosis of microbiota is associated with persistent gastrointestinal symptoms in treated celiac disease patients and open new possibilities to treat this subgroup of patients.
