Misfolding cationic trypsinogen variant p.L104P causes hereditary pancreatitis
23 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
We read the recent publication of Schnúr et al. [1] with great interest, in which the authors proposed that a subset of human cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) variants cause chronic pancreatitis by inducing misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress rather than increased intra-pancreatic trypsin activity.PRSS1 variants that promote premature trypsinogen activation are the strongest known risk factors for...
