[Genetic risk factors in pancreatic diseases--significance for general practice].

Abstract excerpt

GENETIC RISK FACTORS: Recently, several genetic risk factors for chronic pancreatic diseases were found. In patients with chronic pancreatitis several mutations of the cationic trypsinogen were identified. In the majority of these subjects an autosomal dominant disease was observed. Mutations in the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (SPINK 1) were found in 20% of subjects with idiopathic, in 5% of those with...
