RNA sequencing used to discover novel genes and pathways in celiac disease

Researchers at the Mucosal Immunology and Biology Research Center at MassGeneral Hospital for Children (MGHfC) have discovered novel genes and pathways related to early stages in the development of celiac disease and the ongoing inflammation and comorbidities associated with the condition. The findings, published in PLOS One, include analyses of RNA sequences in duodenal biopsies from individuals with and without celiac disease and are consistent with many previously described pathways in the development of celiac disease.
