Neonatal hypertrypsinaemia with normal sweat chloride detected during CF screening may be related to trypsin activation. We have looked for mutations of the cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) and pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) genes in 50 hypertrypsinaemic neonates with known CFTR genotypes and negative sweat test. No mutations were found in either gene. Two silent polymorphisms were detected in the PRSS1 gene. A polymorphism in the promoter region and an intronic polymorphism of the PSTI gene were found. No difference was observed in the frequency of PRSS1 or PSTI polymorphisms in neonates carrying or not carrying CF mutations. These results do not provide an indication for an increased frequency of mutations in the PRSS1 and PSTI genes in this group of neonates with transient hypertrypsinaemia.

Background/objectives: Genetic variants in PRSS1 encoding human cationic trypsinogen are associated with hereditary pancreatitis. The clinically frequent variants exert their pathogenic effect by increasing intrapancreatic trypsin activity, while a distinct subset of variants causes disease via mutation-induced trypsinogen misfolding and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Here, we report a novel misfolding PRSS1 variant.

Mutation p.R122H in human cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) is the most frequently identified cause of hereditary pancreatitis. The mutation blocks protective degradation of trypsinogen by chymotrypsin C (CTRC), which involves an obligatory trypsin-mediated cleavage at Arg122.

Objectives: Recently, a genetic risk for chronic pancreatitis (CP) was found to be conferred by pathogenic variants in the transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 6 ( TRPV6 ). Interestingly, 20%-57% of patients with functionally defective TRPV6 variants have other susceptibility genes such as cationic trypsinogen, serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1, chymotrypsin C, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, and carboxypeptidase A1. In this study, we focused on pediatric patients with acute recurrent pancreatitis or CP with at least 1 variant in these 5 genes and investigated the presence of coexisting TRPV6 mutations.

Background: /Objectives: Sequence variants in several genes have been identified as being associated with an increased inherited risk to develop chronic pancreatitis (CP). In a genetic survey of a CP patient we identified in the PRSS1gene a new c.380C > G sequence variation, giving rise to a non-synonymous p.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare etiological type of chronic pancreatitis. The clinical and radiological presentation of AIP often resembles that of pancreatic cancer. Identifying non-invasive markers for their early distinction is of utmost importance to avoid unnecessary surgery or a delay in steroid therapy.
