[Clinical implications of genetic risk factors of chronic pancreatitis].

Abstract excerpt

The identification of a specific mutation in the human cationic trypsinogen gene in large kindreds with hereditary pancreatitis was the key to understand the genetic background of chronic pancreatitis. Rapidly, other variants within the same gene were identified-even in small families with a minority of patients. Later, mutations of the most important intrapancreatic trypsin inhibitor SPINK1 were found with high...
