Compared with age-matched tTGA-negative children, those with persistent tTGA were more likely to have symptoms at 2 (34% vs 19%, P &amp;lt; .001) and 3 years of age (28% vs 19%, P = .009) but not at 4 years (27% vs 21%, NS). Z-scores for height, weight, and BMI did not differ between groups. In children with persistent tTGA, having \u22651 symptom was associated with family history of CD (odds ratio = 2.59, 95% confidence interval, 1.21\u20135.57) but not with age, gender, or HLA-DR3-DQ2 homozygosity. At seroconversion, tTGA levels were higher in symptomatic than asymptomatic children (P &amp;lt; .001), in those from CD families (P &amp;lt; .001), and in US participants (P &amp;lt; .001) but not associated with age, gender, or HLA genotype. tTGA levels correlated with severity of mucosal lesions both in symptomatic (r = 0.53, P &amp;lt; .001) and asymptomatic children (r = 0.22, P =
