Although the proportion of gamma delta T-cell-receptor (TCR)-bearing intraepithelial lymphocytes is increased in the jejunum of patients with active coeliac disease, an abnormality thought to be specific among those with gluten-sensitive enteropathy, the factors influencing gamma delta TCR expression remain uncertain. We examined the relation between genetic factors associated with coeliac disease and...
