Heritability of non-HLA genetics in coeliac disease: a population-based study in 107 000 twins

Conclusions
CD is characterised by a high heritability, but our study also suggests that non-shared environmental factors may be of importance to CD development. HLA seems to have only moderate impact on heritability estimates.
