A member asked:
Is celiac disease dominant or recesive
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Recessive: Celiac disease is inherited in a autosomal recessive fashion. The risk of severe disease is greatest when the genetic predistribution is derived from both parents.

Neither: While you may inherit the immune risk factor from a parent that does not guarantee getting Celiac disease. If you have a 1st degree relative with confirmed Celiac disease then there is roughly a 20% chance of developing it in your lifetime.
