Brief description Coeliac disease is a common and strongly genetically determined inflammatory disorder triggered by gluten exposure. Because of its substantial genetic component, familial risk is substantial yet currently the actual risk is poorly quantified. We aim to use genomic profiling to construct and validate a novel risk score which can accurately determine which family members of coeliac disease cases are most at risk themselves.
