Clinical Description OMIM Gross et al. (1962) described a kindred with affected persons in 4 generations. Four other families had been reported from the Mayo Clinic, including the first reported example by Comfort and Steinberg (1952). A puzzling feature was the ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Several genes previously mapped to 7q were considered candidates for HPC because they were known to be expressed in the exocrine pancreas and to encode enzymes that could potentially activate digestive enzymes within the pancreas. The hypothesis that ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is defined as either two or more individuals with pancreatitis in two or more generations of a family (i.e., an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance) or pancreatitis associated with a known disease-causing germline mutation [Whitcomb & Lowe 2010]. The diagnosis of PRSS1-related hereditary pancreatitis requires the identification of a disease-causing PRSS1 mutation. ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Pancreatitis refers to inflammation of the pancreas that can be acute (sudden onset; duration <6 months), recurrent acute (>1 episode of acute pancreatitis), or chronic (duration >6 months). ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Genotype-phenotype correlations found in persons with a p.Arg122His mutation included earlier age of onset and a more severe phenotype [Creighton et al 2000, Howes et al 2004]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The morphologic features and laboratory findings of hereditary pancreatitis are the same as those of other etiologies including alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis, tropical pancreatitis, and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis [Shrikhande et al 2003]. Of note, alcoholic pancreatitis refers to pancreatitis resulting from increased alcohol exposure. A minimum of five drinks (>60 oz of ethanol) per day is usually required for alcohol to be a risk factor [Yadav et al 2009]. The effect of alcohol is potentiated by cigarette smoking [Yadav et al 2009]....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease and needs of an individual diagnosed with PRSS1-related hereditary pancreatitis, the following evaluations are recommended:...
