Our data suggest that the increased mortality from lymphoproliferative diseases is restricted to those coeliac patients with 2 HLADQ2/8 alleles and that a combination of coeliac disease and HLADQ2/8 alleles is needed to increase the susceptibility. Once confirmed, closer monitoring may be warranted in this high-risk subpopulation.
