Analysis of <i>CFTR</i>, <i>SPINK1</i>, <i>PRSS1</i> and <i>AAT</i> Mutations in Children With Acute or Chronic Pancreatitis

Abstract

PRSS1 defects seem to be causative for pancreatitis, whereas defects in SPINK1 are suggested to be associated with the disease. No association between CFTR mutations and pancreatitis was observed. The importance of AAT variants remains speculative.
