[edit] Association with multiple myeloma
BMC Immunol. 2008 May 28;9:22. Humoral immunoreactivity to gliadin and to tissue transglutaminase is present in some patients with multiple myeloma.Juranic Z, Radic J, Konic-Ristic A, Jelic S, Mihaljevic B, Stankovic I, Matkovic S, Besu I, Gavrilović D.
"Statistical analysis of data obtained revealed that only the levels of anti-tTG-2 IgA immunoreactivity in patients with MM were significantly higher than these obtained in healthy controls (P < 0.02) CONCLUSION: Data obtained showed the existence of the enhanced serum immunoreactivity to gliadin, tTG-2 and Ro/SSA antigens in some patients with MM. These at least partially could contribute to the immunological imbalance frequently found in this disease."
