cIMT was significantly correlated with tTg IgA antibody level, which is the marker of uncontrolled celiac disease (non-adherence to GFD). Lower cIMT in celiac disease with strict gluten adherence suggests that GFD seems to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular profile. cIMT (mm) in CD with tTg IgA(+) (0.43±0.08) decreased to 0.4±0.05 in CD with tTg IgA (-). P=0.262. The gene discussed is CD79A; the disease is celiac disease.
