Screening of R122H and N29I Mutations in the PRSS1 Gene and N34S Mutation in the SPINK1 Gene in Mexican Pediatric Patients With Acute and Recurrent Pancreatitis

Abstract

Patients bearing the N34S G allele exhibited a 10-fold increased risk of developing AP compared with controls, suggesting that the SPINK1 N34S mutation represents an etiologic risk factor for AP in our Mexican pediatric patients.
