False tTG3 Test?
The problem with a a multiple screening test like this is that it is likely to generate at least one result that is outside the normal range in a healthy person leading to futile investigations.

If you are IGA deficient, IGA test scores will be artificially low and it can result in false negatives. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease antibody testing. Dermatitis herpetiformis...
