Celiac Disease Comprehensive Panel - Celiac disease is caused by an immune response to gluten in genetically sensitive individuals. The diagnosis is largely based on a biopsy of the small intestine, but serologic tests also help support a diagnosis and may assist identification of patients who may require biopsy.
Celiac Disease Diagnostic Panel - Celiac disease is characterized by the presence of Transglutaminase, Gliadin, and Reticulin Antibodies. Such patients display a hypersensitivity to gluten (wheat) in their diet. The antibody is undetectable when patients with hypersensitivity are placed on gluten-free diets.
This reflexing panel of serologic tests is used to help diagnose celiac disease in young children. Deamidated gliadin antibodies (IgG and IgA) are included as initial tests, along with tissue transglutaminase IgA.
This panel checks for certain celiac antibodies—transglutaminase IgA (tTG IgA) and Immunoglobulin A (IgA)—that your immune system would create if you have celiac disease. This test is the initial screen to determine if further testing is required. Please note, this test will not provide a diagnosis of celiac disease.

What are the current standard tests to diagnose celiac disease? Celiac disease (CD) is diagnosed by evaluating symptoms, reviewing family and medical history, conducting blood tests and a small intestinal endoscopy (biopsy).
The First Step: tTG-IgA Test. For most children and adults, the best way to test for celiac disease is with the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody (tTG-IgA), plus an IgA antibody in order to ensure that the patient generates enough of this antibody to render the celiac disease test accurate.
