Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten, affecting individuals with genetic predispositions. Recent research has explored the relationship between genetic factors and environmental influences in the early development of celiac disease autoimmunity. A large study, conducted through the TEDDY birth cohort, investigated how season of birth, viral infections, and genetic variations in the CD247 gene contribute to the risk of developing celiac disease autoimmunity. The findings shed new light on how these factors interact and may help in identifying at-risk individuals earlier.
