[Identical Variants Different Disease Course - Genetics of Chronic Pancreatitis].

Abstract excerpt

Multiple genetic associations with chronic pancreatitis have been identified. In cases with hereditary pancreatitis family history is reported and mostly distinct causative variants in cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) are identified. Furthermore, variants in other genes of proteases and anti-proteases of the digestive enzyme cascade (SPINK1, CTRC, CPA1), are also associated with chronic pancreatitis. Interestingly,...
