You probably do not have classical celiac disease. Rarely celiac disease can be cause by other problems, for example GI archetecture disease or down syndrom. Not alot is known about the disease associations with xxxx:0402. I call 0401:0402 the highland/dryland haplotype because it is found in density in peoples who live in dry climates or highland regions, the exception are the Ainu but studies suggest they move from N asia more or less recently.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 So, Downs causes Celiac WITHOUT the gene???? I had always assumed the gene still had to be present and the Downs would be the trigger to manifesting the CD.
