TTG Advanced (Neo Epitopes)

What is the TTG Advanced Neoepitopes test?

This test measures antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) neoepitopes, which are more specific markers for celiac disease.


Why is this test done?

It helps in the diagnosis of celiac disease with improved specificity, especially in ambiguous cases or those on a gluten-free diet.


How is the test performed?

A blood sample is tested using advanced immunoassays that target neoepitopes of the tTG protein.


What do the results mean?

Positive results indicate an immune reaction to gluten and support the diagnosis of celiac disease. Negative results may rule it out.


Are there any precautions or preparations required?

Patients should ideally be on a gluten-containing diet before the test for accurate results.
