Abstract

Authors' conclusions: we demostrated that is possible to perform a powerful, simple, well accepted and sensitive celiac disease (CD) screening using saliva.

Reviewers' commentary: this study describes the possibility to perform a simple, safe and apparently specific screening test for detecting CD in saliva at early age. This could contribute to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with CD. Further studies will be neccessary to confirm these results.
