Abstract
A 13-year-old boy presented when his weight gain fell behind that of his monozygous twin brother. Following investigation, he was found to have gluten-sensitive enteropathy on jejunal biopsy. Investigation of his symptom-free brother showed biopsy evidence of the condition with changes similar to those of the clinically affected boy. Following treatment with a gluten-free diet, the boys achieved a similar weight after 15 months.Entities:
