Gluten-related disorders disease patients who have HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. Coeliac disease (American English: celiac) (CD) is one of the most common chronic, immune-mediated disorders, triggered by the eating of gluten, a mixture of proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and derivatives. Evidence has shown that this condition not only has an environmental component but a genetic one as well, due to strong associations of CD with the presence of HLA (Human leukocyte antigen) type II, specifically DQ2 and DQ8 alleles. These alleles can stimulate a T cell, mediated immune response against tissue transglutaminase (TTG), an enzyme in the extracellular matrix, leading to
Wheat allergy comes from the progenitor species "Aegilops speltoides". This indicates that nascent mutations on the B genome of wheat are from a small number of cultivated Triticeae species. Recent study of WDEIA shows that both aspirin and exercise increase the presence of gliadin in the blood stream and the chronic induced response may extend to NSAIDs, MSG, Benzoate and other synthetic chemical food additives. Baker's allergy has a ω-gliadin component and thioredoxin hB component. In addition, a gluten-extrinsic allergen has been identified as aspergillus amylase, added to flour to increase its baking properties. Contact sensitivity, atopic dermatitis, eczema, and urticaria appear
