I'm doing a biology project on genetic disorders on celiac disease and I need to know if it is sex linked, dominant, or recessive. Thank you.

Hi Briana,

Most of the online articles say that celiac disease is more common in women than in men. This is certainly the case with many other autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

The genetics of celiac disease are rather complicated, and I don't think you can explain things as being merely dominant or recessive. I don't know enough about to give you an answer on that part.

Celiac is not sex linked. One reason for more women having it would be childbirth. Celiac requires a trigger and for many women childbirth will bring it on. It is also neither dominant or recessive it is more of a genetic difference than a defect. I believe it is more of a haplogroup rather than a genetic mutation.

Your best way to get accurate research would be to enter Celiac and genes into a search engine and then look for .org, .gov and .edu in the results.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
