Abstract: Objective: To compare the frequency of celiac disease (CD) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy controls using tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (anti-tTGA) as a screening tool. Results: The mean age of MS patients (32 male and 68 female) was 33.06±8.79 years; the mean age of controls was 32.98±9.62 years. The mean expanded disability scale score (EDSS) for MS patients was 3.86±1.91. Approximately 78.5 % of MS patients suffered from a remitting relapsing type of MS. All subjects (MS patients and controls) were negative for anti-tTGA. IgA deficiency was demonstrated in 14 % of MS patients and 11 % of controls (p>0.1). No IgA-deficient subjects consented to undergo a duodenal mucosa biopsy.
