Uncertainties in the classification of human cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) variants as hereditary pancreatitis-associated mutations.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis has been conclusively linked with cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) mutations p.R122H and p.N29I, which can be found in approximately 90% of mutation-positive cases. To date, 35 additional rare or private PRSS1 variants have been identified in subjects with hereditary or sporadic, idiopathic chronic pancreatitis. Despite the lack of sufficient genetic and...
