Gliadin gene control – comfort comes closer for celiac sufferers


Figure 1
There is little doubt that the incidence of diagnosis of celiac (cœliac) disease – mainly caused by allergy to wheat {alpha}-gliadins – is increasing. Whether this increase arises, as some suggest, from the way that bread is manufactured on a large scale or whether detection of the condition has improved is not clear. Van Herpen et al. (a joint UK–Netherlands research team; pp. 331–342) cite previous results showing that the allergic reactions exhibited by sufferers are elicited by particular epitopes in the {alpha}-gliadins encoded in the D-genome and, to a lesser extent, in the A-genome of wheat. Gliadins encoded by the B-genome are much less allergenic. Further, there is evidence that the timings of deposition during grain development of the {alpha}-gliadins encoded by the three genomes are . . . [Full Text of this Article]
