Signs of celiac disease begin to show not only in childhood patterns, but can also develop at more mature ages. What causes celiac disease is often linked to hereditary reasons, certain genetic disorders, and autoimmune disease. Some indicators can include anemia, bad liver function, autoimmune thyroid disease, Down syndrome, Microscopic colitis (colon inflammation), and Turner Sydrome (an incomplete sex chromosome).
Causes and symptoms. Celiac disease can run in families and has a genetic basis, although the pattern of inheritance is complicated. The type of inheritance pattern that celiac disease follows is called multifactorial (caused by many factors, both genetic and environmental).
