“…The CTRC mutations may predispose for CP by ineffective degradation of trypsinogen/trypsin, ineffective activation of carboxypeptidase, and induction of the endoplasmic reticulum [82]. The degradation of trypsinogen with participation of CTRC takes place after the exhaustion of the protective mechanisms dependent on SPINK1 [84]. Pathogenic CTRC variants (p.A73T, p.V235I, p.R254W, and p.K247_R254del) were found in patients with CP, as well as healthy controls; therefore, they should be considered as risk factors [85].…”
