Abstract excerpt
We report a paediatric case of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) with persistently elevated salivary-type amylase levels, an uncommon biochemical pattern in ARP. Genetic analysis, focused on pancreatitis-related genes, identified heterozygous mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (p.Ala72Thr and p.Leu1156Phe). Although the patient showed no typical features or a family...
