Figure 1 Proposed multi-kingdom model of pediatric celiac disease and the role of at-risk siblings.
A: Genetic susceptibility interacts with bacterial, fungal, and viral components to modulate immune homeostasis and promote loss of gluten tolerance; B: Unaffected siblings may represent a preclinical window characterized by early microbial and immunological signatures relevant for risk stratification. HLA: Human leukocyte antigen; IL: Interleukin; TGF: Transforming growth factor.
