Abstract excerpt
A diverse range of loss-of-function variants in the SPINK1 gene (encoding pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor) has been identified in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The haplotype harboring the SPINK1 c.101A>G (p.Asn34Ser or N34S) variant (rs17107315:T>C) is one of the most important heritable risk factors for CP as a consequence of its relatively high prevalence worldwide (population allele frequency...
