Abstract

Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune disorder where gluten ingestion triggers an immune response, damaging the small intestine in genetically predisposed individuals. Affecting around 1% of the global population, CD presents with diverse symptoms, including gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and extraintestinal conditions such as anemia and osteoporosis, often complicating diagnosis. Advances in serology, histology, and genetic testing, such as HLA-DQ2/DQ8 analysis, have improved diagnostic accuracy. Precision medicine is transforming CD management by integrating genetic, clinical, and lifestyle data to enable risk prediction, personalized therapies, and improved outcomes. Tools like machine learning enhance early diagnosis, dietary management, and drug discovery, while electronic medical records support comprehensive patient profiling and disease monitoring. These technologies facilitate personalized healthcare delivery tailored to individual patient profiles.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Precision medicine; Machine learning; Electronic medical records; Celiac disease

Core Tip: Advances in precision medicine, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), are transforming the diagnosis and management of celiac disease (CD). By integrating histopathologic features, genetic data, and electronic medical records (EMRs), these technologies enable accurate disease classification, risk prediction, and personalized treatment strategies. ML and DL models have demonstrated high accuracy in predicting CD severity, while EMR-based approaches facilitate tailored dietary and therapeutic interventions. These innovations underscore the potential of AI-driven methodologies to enhance patient outcomes and revolutionize the clinical approach to CD.
