Association and differential role of PRSS1 and SPINK1 mutation in early-onset and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis in Chinese subjects: Table 1

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) may be associated with genetic susceptibility. We read with interest the article by Mahurkar et al ( Gut 2006; 55 :1270–5) which described the role of pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (SPINK1) gene mutation and cathepsin B gene polymorphisms in tropical calcific pancreatitis.
