Celiac disease and glycogenic acanthosis: a new association?
A 6-y-old boy and an 8-y-old girl were admitted to our clinic with anaemia and failure to thrive. Laboratory tests revealed iron deficiency anaemia and positive antigliadin antibodies in both of the patients. Slightly raised grey-white plaques were observed on oesophageal mucosa during endoscopical investigation of the patients. While intestinal mucosal samples confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease histologically, histopathological assessment of oesophageal lesions demonstrated glycogenic acanthosis. Since glycogenic acanthosis associated with celiac disease hasn't been reported in the literature previously to our knowledge, case reports of our patients were presented.. We suggest that glycogenic acanthosis needs to be investigated as a possible new association of celiac disease in greater paediatric series.

Muscle abnormalities in coeliac disease: studies on gross motor development and muscle fibre composition, size and metabolic substrates.
In 11 children with coeliac disease gross motor development was assessed before and during diet treatment using the gross motor subscale of the Denver developmental screening test. ATP, creatine phosphate (CP), glycogen and lactate concentrations, muscle fibre size and fibre composition were measured in specimens obtained by needle biopsy from the vastus lateralis muscle. Before treatment, gross motor development was delayed. ATP, and to a lesser extent, CP and glycogen concentrations were lowered compared to a control group. After treatment, gross motor development was normal and no differences in ATP, CP or glycogen concentrations were found compared to the control group. Fibre size seemed unaffected by the disease. The percentage of type 1 fibres was significantly lower before treatment, compared to values obtained during treatment and from the control group. Whether these metabolic changes were due to the coeliac disease per se or the inactivity which it causes was not possible to establish. In humans, only altered neurogenic influence on the muscles has been previously shown to give changes in fibre composition.
