We studied the role of the immunoglobulin heavy-chain allotypes in the evolution of celiac disease. Particularly the Gm(fb) phenotype was investigated since this phenotype is able to determine the breadth of immune response against alpha-gliadin antigen. The results show that weight percentiles and intestinal absorption as assessed by xylose test are influenced by Gm(fb) phenotype suggesting that Gm(fb) genes contribute to the determination of clinical aspects and evolution of celiac disease.

D005803 Genes, Immunoglobulin Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).
