Data support causes alternative to gluten exposure for neurologic dysfunction among most gliadin antibody-positive patients without celiac disease. Nutritional deficiency and coexisting autoimmunity may cause neurologic dysfunction in celiac disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Neurologic patients included both those with the celiac disease-prerequisite major histocompatibility complex class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2\/DQ8 haplotype, and those without. The 3 groups were as follows: group 1 were 44 patients with celiac disease or transglutaminase (Tg)-2\/deamidated gliadin immunoglobulin (Ig)A\/IgG detected; group 2 were 15 patients who did not carry HLA-DQ2\/DQ8 genetic markers and had gliadin IgA\/IgG detected; and group \u00a0were 9 patients who did carry HLA-DQ2\/DQ8 markers, and gliadin IgA\/IgG detected. Neurologic patients and 21 non-neurologic celiac disease patients were evaluated for neural and Tg6 antibodies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">RESULTS: In group 1, 42 of 44 patients had celiac disease. Neurologic phenotypes (cerebellar ataxia, 13; neuropathy, 11; <strong>dementia, 8<\/strong>; myeloneuropathy, 5; other, 7) and causes (autoimmune, 9; deficiencies of vitamin E, folate, or copper, 6; genetic, 6; toxic or metabolic, 4; unknown, 19) were diverse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">In groups 2 and 3, 21 of 24 patients had cerebellar ataxia; none had celiac disease. Causes of neurologic disorders in groups 2 and 3 were diverse (autoimmune, 4; degenerative, 4; toxic, 3; nutritional deficiency, 1; other, 2; unknown, 10). One or more neural-reactive autoantibodies were detected in 10 of 68 patients, all with autoimmune neurologic diagnoses (glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 IgG, 4; voltage-gated potassium channel complex IgG, 3; others, 5).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Tg6-IgA\/IgG (transglutaminase 6 antibody) was detected in 7 of 68 patients (cerebellar ataxia, 3; myelopathy, 2; ataxia and parkinsonism, 1; neuropathy, 1); the 2 patients with myelopathy had neurologic disorders explained by malabsorption of copper, vitamin E, and folate rather than by neurologic autoimmunity.<a href=\"#footnote_3_640\" id=\"identifier_22_640\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"McKeon A, Lennon VA, Pittock SJ, Kryzer TJ, Murray J.

Information processing efficacy, memory, visuospatial ability, motoric function and attention were tested. Small bowel biopsies were collected via routine gastroscopy at weeks 12 and 52 and were compared to baseline Marsh scores. Cognitive performance was compared to serum concentrations of tissue transglutaminase antibodies, biopsy outcomes and other biological markers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">RESULTS: All patients had excellent adherence to the diet. Marsh scores improved significantly and tissue transglutaminase antibody concentrations decreased from a mean of 58.4 at baseline to 16.8 U\/mL at week 52. Four of the cognitive tests assessing verbal fluency, attention and motoric function showed significant improvement over the 12 months and strongly correlated with the Marsh scores and tissue transglutaminase antibody levels.<a href=\"#footnote_13_640\" id=\"identifier_23_640\" class=\"footnote-link footnote-identifier-link\" title=\"Lichtwark IT, Newnham ED, Robinson SR, Shepherd SJ, Hosking P, Gibson PR, Yelland GW.

Thirteen patients (5 women) were identified. The average age at cognitive impairment onset was 64 years (range, 45-79 years), which coincided with symptom onset or exacerbation of diarrhea, steatorrhea, and abdominal cramping in 5 patients. Amnesia, acalculia, confusion, and personality changes were the most common presenting features.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The average initial Short Test of Mental Status score was 28 of a total of 38 (range, 18-34), which was in the moderately impaired range. The results of neuropsychological testing suggested a trend of a frontosubcortical pattern of impairment. Ten patients had ataxia, and 4 of them also had peripheral neuropathy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head showed nonspecific T2 hyperintensities, and electroencephalography showed nonspecific diffuse slowing. Deficiencies in folate, vitamin B12, vitamin E, or a combination were identified in 4 patients, yet supplementation did not improve their neurological symptoms. Three patients improved or stabilized cognitively with gluten withdrawal.
