    Background & Aims Substantial heterogeneity in terminology used for eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGID), particularly the catchall term “eosinophilic gastroenteritis”, limits clinical and research advances. We aimed to achieve an international consensus for standardized EGID nomenclature. Methods This consensus process utilized Delphi methodology. An initial naming framework was proposed and refined in iterative fashion, then assessed in a first round of Delphi voting. Results were discussed in two consensus meetings, the framework was updated, and re-assessed in a second Delphi vote, with a 70% threshold set for agreement. Results Of 91 experts participating, 85 (93%) completed the first and 82 (90%) completed the second Delphi surveys. Consensus was reached on all but two statements. “EGID” was the preferred umbrella term for disorders of GI tract eosinophilic inflammation in the absence of secondary causes (100% agreement). Involved GI tract segments will be named specifically and use an “Eo” abbreviation convention: eosinophilic gastritis (now abbreviated EoG), eosinophilic enteritis (EoN), and eosinophilic colitis (EoC). The term “eosinophilic gastroenteritis” is no longer preferred as the overall name (96% agreement). When >2 GI tract areas are involved, the name should reflect all of the involved areas. Conclusions This international process resulted in consensus for updated EGID nomenclature for both clinical and research use. EGID will be the umbrella term rather than “eosinophilic gastroenteritis”, and specific naming conventions by location of GI tract involvement are recommended. As more data are developed, this framework can be updated to reflect best practices and the underlying science.

    Risk of celiac disease autoimmunity is modified by interactions between CD247 and environmental exposures
    (Springer Nature, 2024-10-26) Eurén, Anna; Lynch, Kristian; Lindfors, Katri; Parikh, Hemang; Koletzko, Sibylle; Liu, Edwin; Akolkar, Beena; Hagopian, William; Krischer, Jeffrey; Rewers, Marian; Toppari, Jorma; Ziegler, Anette; Agardh, Daniel; Kurppa, Kalle; TEDDY Study Group; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Season of birth, viral infections, HLA haplogenotypes and non-HLA variants are implicated in the development of celiac disease and celiac disease autoimmunity, suggesting a combined role of genes and environmental exposures. The aim of the study was to further decipher the biological pathways conveying the season of birth effect in celiac disease autoimmunity to gain novel insights into the early pathogenesis of celiac disease. Interactions between season of birth, genetics, and early-life environmental factors on the risk of celiac autoimmunity were investigated in the multicenter TEDDY birth cohort study. Altogether 6523 genetically predisposed children were enrolled to long-term follow-up with prospective sampling and data collection at six research centers in the USA, Germany, Sweden and Finland. Celiac disease autoimmunity was defined as positive tissue transglutaminase antibodies in two consecutive serum samples. There was a significant season of birth effect on the risk of celiac autoimmunity. The effect was dependent on polymorphisms in CD247 gene encoding for CD3ζ chain of TCR-CD3 complex. In particular, children with major alleles for SNP rs864537A > G, in CD247 (AA genotype) had an excess risk of celiac autoimmunity when born March-August as compared to other months. The interaction of CD247 with season of birth on autoimmunity risk was accompanied by interactions with febrile infections between the ages of 3-6 months. Considering the important role of TCR-CD3 complex in the adaptive immune response and our findings here, CD247 variants and their possible effect of subgroups in autoimmunity development could be of interest in the design of future gene-environment studies of celiac disease.
