PRSS1 (R122H) mutation in an Indian family with low penetrance is associated with pancreatitis phenotype

Abstract: Mutations in PRSS1 gene namely R122H and N29I cause hereditary pancreatitis. They are autosomal dominant with a high penetrance (80%) reported in North American, North-east Asian, and North European ethnicities. However, the mutations are reportedly absent in Indian, African, and South American ethnicities. We report here for the first time a family from India that is positive for R122H mutation in the PRSS1 gene. The proband is symptomatic with chronic pancreatitis, however, the father although heterozygous f… Show more

“…Since 1996, many PRSS1 variants have been reported. Among the PRSS1 variants that have been classified as pathogenic, some were shown to be associated with a high penetrance and others with a low penetrance [14][15][16]. However, assessing the clinical relevance of rare or private PRSS1 variants is often complicated in the absence of functional evidence [17].…”

“…Hereditary pancreatitis is linked to mutations in PRSS1, CFTR, SPINK1, CTSB, CASR, PSP/Reg, etc. (6)(7)(8)(9). But no genes associated with hereditary pancreatitis were found.…”

“…Even though several genetic polymorphisms have been associated with the development of RAP and CP, the results need to be interpreted with caution. While the high penetrance pancreatitis-associated PRSS1 R122H gene is rare in India [14,15], the other implicated genes such as the SPINK1, CTSB, Claudin2, CASR, and CTRC have lower penetrance and confer only a slightly increased odds ratio for development of RAP and CP [16,17]. A whole gene or exome sequencing could unravel novel genetic polymorphisms involving a wide range of pathogenic functions, but again, the strength of association will have to be critically analyzed.…”
