Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Heterozygous SPINK1 mutations are strong risk factors for chronic pancreatitis in humans, yet heterozygous disruption of mouse Spink1 yielded no pancreatic phenotype. To resolve this contradiction, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to generate heterozygous Spink1-deleted mice (Spink1-KOhet) in the C57BL/6N strain and studied the effect of this allele in trypsin-independent and...
