title: Coeliac disease. Missing villi? The search for coeliac disease in the Asia-Pacific region.
abstract: Epidemiology studies have shown an ~1% prevalence of coeliac disease in Europe, North America, the Middle East and South America, but the prevalence in the Asia–Pacific region remains relatively unknown. Now, Makharia et al. have proposed much needed recommendations to help tackle the problem of coeliac disease in this region.
