A couple of research articles by other researchers are discussed, with emphasis on the significance to both the celiac and paraprotein patient populations. A proposal is made that celiac patients be routinely tested for paraproteinemia, and patients with pararproteinemia also be tested for celiac disease. In addition there is a call for more intensified research into this link between celiac disease and paraproteinemia.

Celiac disease is closely associated with the presence of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, and has also been tied to variations in the MY09B gene on the 19th chromosome. A team of Dutch doctors recently set out to determine if the presence of the MY09B gene carries an elevated risk of refractory celiac disease type II, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma.
