CD is a condition for future T1D development, and specific HLA genotypes can predict this risk. Early screening for celiac autoimmunity and subsequent HLA typing in CD children could help identify those at high risk of T1D, allowing for proactive interventions and immunotherapies to preserve β-cell function. These findings may support the re-evaluation of HLA typing in children with CD.
