The article discusses the serological tests that can be used to help diagnose such manifestations.

However, we recently reported subclinical cerebellar, mostly ocular motor, signs in 16 of 42 patients with coeliac disease (as proven by a biopsy sample) who were on a gluten-free diet.4Versino M Franciotta D Colnaghi S et al.Cerebellar signs in celiac patients.Neurology. 2009; 72: 2046-2048Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar These patients did not, and still do not, have any cerebellar clinical symptoms. Cerebellar signs were not associated with patients' age or diet duration or compliance, and none of the sera samples collected at disease onset, when the patients were on gluten-containing diets, showed antibody reactivity against primate cerebellar tissue.4Versino M Franciotta D Colnaghi S et al.Cerebellar signs in celiac patients.Neurology. 2009; 72: 2046-2048Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google ScholarTo test whether antibodies to TG6 were associated with subclinical cerebellar involvement, we measured serum concentrations of both anti-TG6 IgG and IgA antibodies in these patients (the same sera of the previous study),4Versino M Franciotta D Colnaghi S et al.Cerebellar signs in celiac patients.Neurology. 2009; 72: 2046-2048Crossref PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar and in age-matched healthy controls. Mean (±SE) serum anti-TG6 IgG antibody concentrations in the whole group of patients with coeliac disease (39·9±9·5 U/mL) were higher than in healthy controls (16·2±2·1 U/mL; Mann-Whitney test, p=0·0016), but were not significantly different between patients with coeliac disease who had cerebellar signs (35·1±5·5 U/mL) and patients with coeliac disease without such signs (42·8±15·1 U/mL). These two groups of coeliac disease patients with or without cerebellar signs also showed similar frequency of positivity for anti-TG6 IgG antibodies (χ2 test, p=0·55), whereas this frequency in the whole group of patients with coeliac disease was higher than in healthy controls (Fisher test, p=0·001). Both mean values of serum anti-TG6 IgA antibody concentrations and the frequency of positivity for anti-TG6 IgA antibodies did not significantly differ in patients with coeliac disease with or without cerebellar signs and in healthy controls.These findings are in contrast to those of Hadjivassiliou and colleagues,1Hadjivassiliou M Sanders DA Grunewald RA Woodroofe N Boscolo S Aeschlimann D Gluten sensitivity: from gut to brain.Lancet Neurol. 2010; 9: 318-330Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (287) Google Scholar, 2Hadjivassiliou M Aeschlimann P Strigun A et al.Autoantibodies in gluten ataxia recognize a novel neuronal transglutaminase.Ann Neurol. 2008; 64: 332-343Crossref PubMed Scopus (205) Google Scholar who concluded that, in addition to HLA typing, anti-gliadin, and anti-TG2 antibodies, antibodies to TG6 might be useful markers to identify a subgroup of patients with gluten sensitivity who are likely to develop neurological manifestations.

We have no conflicts of interest. Gluten sensitivity and the CNS: diagnosis and treatment – Authors' replyWe thank Versino and colleagues for their comments. They state that they regularly follow up patients in their coeliac disease centre but that none of them had gluten ataxia. This statement seems to be contrary to their publication1 reporting that, after detailed neurological examination in 42 of their patients with coeliac disease who were on a gluten-free diet, 16 (38%) had signs of cerebellar dysfunction. A gluten-free diet can improve or at least stabilise the ataxia and thus these patients, because of their gastrointestinal symptoms, might have been diagnosed with coeliac disease early and were probably treated before they developed symptomatic cerebellar dysfunction.
