UNLABELLED: Predisposition to coeliac disease (CD) might be partially due to an individual pattern of hyper-inflammatory biased immune response. One of these patterns of intense response may be linked to the haplotype carrying HLA-DQ2 alleles and TNF -308A allele. However, 10 % of CD patients do not express the DQ2 heterodimer and these do not usually carry the TNF -308A allele. A similar response might be...
