Childhood-onset hereditary pancreatitis with mutations in the CT gene and SPINK1 gene.

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is an autosomal-dominant gene disorder. The affected genes have been identified as the cationic trypsinogen (CT) gene and the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) gene. These gene abnormalities alone, however, do not necessarily regulate the onset or severity of pancreatitis, suggesting the involvement of other gene abnormalities and environmental factors.
