The understanding of pathogenesis of acute and chronic pancreatitis has benefited from the progress made in genetic investigations. The discoveries of the gain of function mutations of cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) and the loss of function mutations of pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (SPINK 1) or other potential defects in genes that regulate pancreatic secretory function or modulate inflammatory...
