Evaluation of Biopsy-free Pediatric Celiac Diagnosis

Confirming a diagnosis of celiac disease often involves duodenal biopsy — an invasive procedure that many patients, especially children, may wish to avoid.

Researchers are exploring the possibility of a biopsy-free approach to pediatric celiac diagnosis by focusing on high-specificity assay approaches.

In this webinar, Dr. Dickerson, Division Head of Lab Medicine at Seattle Children’s Hospital, shares her evaluation of using the BioPlex 2200 tTG IgA assay compared to biopsy for diagnosing pediatric celiac disease.
