NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Researchers have conducted RNA sequencing on celiac disease samples, unearthing genetic signatures that could help identify potential therapies for these patients.

Led by investigators from Harvard Medical School and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, the team used gene expression signatures in intestinal samples to get a closer look at the pathways involved in celiac disease in general, as well as expression changes specific to active forms of the immune-related gluten intolerance condition.
