Latent Celiac Disease
Diagnosis of celiac disease at a later age despite an asymptomatic clinical course. Serologic evidence with minimal histological changes in the intestinal mucosa are noted. The presence of human tissue transglutaminase, endomysial and gliadin antibodies without substantial villous changes follow many years of a seemingly gluten-tolerant diet. Despite an unremarkable clinical course, continued unrestricted gluten intake may predispose to the same sequelae as overt disease. (NCI Thesaurus)
