Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a distinct disease entity. Whether the genes involved in pancreatic acinar cell injury, cationic trypsinogen gene (protease, serine, 1 [trypsin 1] [PRSS1]) and the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor gene (serine peptidase inhibitor, Kazal type 1 [SPINK1]), are associated with AIP remains to be explored. METHODS: Genetic analyses of PRSS1 variants (exon 2...
