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.

Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is an unusual form of pancreatitis inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder. Patients typically present with recurrent acute pancreatitis-like symptoms that eventually progress to chronic pancreatitis, resulting in pancreatic exocrine insufficiency or diabetes mellitus, and a high risk of developing pancreatic cancer. As such, early diagnosis is crucial.

Pancreatic cancer serves as the third leading cause of cancer-associated morbidity and mortality in the United States, with a 5-year survival rate of only 12% with an expected increase in incidence and mortality in the coming years. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas constitute most pancreatic malignancies. Certain genetic syndromes, including Lynch syndrome, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, hereditary pancreatitis, familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, familial pancreatic cancer mutation, and ataxia telangiectasia, confer a significantly higher risk.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 27-year-old man with recurrent pancreatitis was found to have a rare genetic mutation (homozygous SPINK1 N34S) after multiple hospitalizations and diagnostic testing.
  • - After unsuccessful endoscopic treatments, he underwent a laparoscopic Puestow procedure to improve his symptoms and pancreatic drainage.
  • - His recovery was successful, and he was discharged with enzyme therapy, highlighting the complexities of diagnosing and managing hereditary pancreatitis linked to genetic factors.
