The inhibition of the protein zonulin is a theorized treatment for Type I diabetes and this disease. It is associated with hyposplenism, and possession of the HLDA-DQ2 allele. The Marsh classification describes the pathogenesis of this disease, which involves the proliferation of intra-epithelial lymphocytes. Subtle signs of this illness in adults include anemia, and in this disease, tissue transglutaminase is attacked by antibodies, eliciting a B-cell response that increases production of IgA and IgG. That autoimmune response is caused by (*) prolamins, which, when presented to helper T-cells, generate the auto-antibodies. As with wheat allergy, the only definitive treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. For 10 points, name this autoimmune disease caused by Triticeae glutens which causes malnutrition and atrophy of the intestinal villi, named for the Greek word for "abdominal."
