How to diagnose celiac disease? IgA tissue transglutaminase (IgA tTG) is a good screening test with a sensitivity of 98 % and specificity of 95 %, and if found positive diagnosis should be confirmed with duodenal biopsy before subjecting to gluten-free diet. However, if IgA tTG is negative in the presence of strong clinical suspicion of celiac disease, serum total IgA should be measured, as serum IgA levels are lower in 2–5 % of patients with celiac disease. Patients with a low serum IgA levels should be subjected to IgG-tTG estimation (with or without anti-deamidated gliadin peptide IgG antibody), and if any of these antibodies is found to be elevated, the patient should be subjected to duodenal biopsy.

The neuroendocrine hypothesis proposes that there is a set point in the brain for an individual’s growth termed as “sizo-stat,” and this allows the “catch-up” growth after a period of growth inhibition to achieve the age specified “preset” height of an individual. However, it was refuted later. The “growth plate” hypothesis reveals that during the period of growth inhibition, there is a slowing of chondrocyte senescence, followed by increased chondrocyte growth and proliferation during subsequent “catch-up” growth.
