  1. CD = celiac disease; ASD = autism spectrum disorder; # =number of subjects; CI = Confidence Interval; OR = Odds Ratio;
  2. °1= seronegative CD subjects among those screened; °2= ASD subjects without overt CD from the eligible ASD cohort;
  3. * A Probability (P)-value less than 0.05 (≤ 0.05) is statistically significant
