Abstract excerpt
Coeliac disease (CD) is a multigenic and multifactorial enteropathy triggered by gluten-composing proteins. A possible involvement of the intestinal Aminopeptidase N (APN) was investigated by an association analysis. SSCP analysis detected four variants at position 281, 378, 956 and 2957 (referred to no. g178535, GenBank) that were studied in 193 Italian CD families. The haplotypic combinations were determined...
