A member asked:
If a person carries both genes associated with celiac, what are their chances of developing celiac disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No guarantee, but...: ...risk is elevated. Keep that risk in mind at all times since clinical presentation of celiac disease varies from patient to patient with either typical intestinal symptoms (see earlier healthtap answers on this topic) or a host of atypical extraintestinal manifestations. Important complications include: malnutrition, osteoporosis, infertility, GI cancers.
