Genetics of pancreatitis: A guide for clinicians

Abstract: Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas leading to progressive fibrosis that presents with severe abdominal pain and may result in exocrine and/or endocrine insufficiency at later stages. Although alcohol is the strongest contributing factor for disease development, some patients feature none of the known classical risk factors and were consequently classified as having idiopathic or, in the presence of a positive family history, hereditary disease. Today, several mutations have been id… Show more

“…35 The improvement of the diagnostic ability is leading to a progressive reduction of the so-called idiopathic forms of pancreatitis (our data show 26.9% of idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis). 36,37 We observed a high percentage of specific CP signs during ERCP (38.5% of patients), but all patients had pancreatic sufficiency. As in other series, 2Y6,8 the results of our work are influenced by the incompleteness of the collected data because of the retrospective study design as well as the bias in patient selection, the experience of the clinicians in our center, and the lack of investigation for other etiologies, as a sphincter of Oddi dysfunction and autoimmune pancreatitis.…”

“…SPINK1 is an acute phase protein, synthesized in the acinar cells of the pancreas together with PRSS1. Being a strong protease inhibitor, its main role is to prevent premature trypsinogen activation and pancreatic autodigestion by creating a covalent bond between its lysine residue at position 41 and the catalytic serine residue of trypsin (12,31,(47)(48)(49)(50). The SPINK1 coding gene is localized on chromosome 5 (5q32), and it consists of 4 exons spanning a region of approximately 7.5 kb (51).…”

“…Im Verlauf der letzten Jahre wurden zahlreiche genetische Veränderungen bei Patienten mit chronischer Pankreatitis nachgewiesen [3]. Es handelt sich um Mutationen im Bereich des kationischen Trypsinogen (N29I und R122H/C), die zu einem autosomal-dominanten Erbgang mit einer Penetranz von 80% führen.…”
