Chronic Pancreatitis: The True Pathogenic Culprit within the <i>SPINK1</i> N34S-Containing Haplotype Is No Longer at Large
A diverse range of loss-of-function variants in the <i>SPINK1</i> gene (encoding pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor) has been identified in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The haplotype harboring the <i>SPINK1</i> c.101A>G (p.Asn34Ser or N34S) variant (rs17107...

A diverse range of loss-of-function variants in the <i>SPINK1</i> gene (encoding pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor) has been identified in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP).
