Marmosets in captivity are highly susceptible to a wasting syndrome that is apparently associated with IgA antigliadin antibodies and IgA-containing circulating immune complexes that deposit in the glomerular mesangium. Notably, this syndrome disappears after gluten is withdrawn from the diet. It is yet to be determined whether this syndrome may present a suitable animal model for human celiac disease and/or IgAN (261). This evidence concerns the gene CD79A and Cachexia.
