Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants contribute to the risk of chronic pancreatitis (CP) in adults and children. The risk variant CEL-HYB1, a recombinant hybrid allele of CEL and its neighboring pseudogene (CELP), encodes a pathogenic variant of the pancreatic digestive enzyme carboxyl ester lipase (CEL). We previously identified combinations of two non-synonymous SNPs, c.1463T>C (p. Ile488Thr) and c.1643C>T (p. Thr548Ile), in the...
