Germline variant analysis from a cohort of patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia in Brazil. Mol Genet Metab Rep 2024; 40:101100. [PMID: 38933898 PMCID: PMC11201343 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgmr.2024.101100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a common dyslipidemia associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and pancreatitis. It is well stablished that the severe cases of disease often present with an underlying genetic cause. In this study, we determined the frequency and variation spectrum of genes involved in the triglyceride metabolism in a series of Brazilian patients with severe HTG. A total of 212 patients with very high HTG, defined with fasting triglycerides (TG) ≥ 880 mg/ dL, that underwent a multi-gene panel testing were included in this research. Germline deleterious variants (i.e. Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (P/LP) variants) were identified in 28 out of 212 patients, reflecting an overall diagnostic yield of 13% in our cohort. Variants of unknown significance (VUS) were identified in 87 patients, and represent 80% of detected variants in this dataset. We confirm the LPL as the most frequently mutated gene in patients with severe HTG, and we had only one suspected case of familial chylomicronemia syndrome, caused by a homozygous variant in LMF1, in our cohort. Notably, we report 16 distinct and novel variants (P/LP and VUS), each of them representing a single case, not previously reported in any public databases or other studies. Our data expand our knowledge of genetic variation spectrum in patients with severe HTG in the Brazilian population, often underrepresented in public genomic databases, being also a valuable clinical resource for genetic counseling and healthcare programs in the country.

Classification of PRSS1 variants responsible for chronic pancreatitis: An expert perspective from the Franco-Chinese GREPAN study group. Pancreatology 2023; 23:491-506. [PMID: 37581535 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2023.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND PRSS1 was the first reported chronic pancreatitis (CP) gene. The existence of both gain-of-function (GoF) and gain-of-proteotoxicity (GoP) pathological PRSS1 variants, together with the fact that PRSS1 variants have been identified in CP subtypes spanning the range from monogenic to multifactorial, has made the classification of PRSS1 variants very challenging. METHODS All currently reported PRSS1 variants (derived primarily from two databases) were manually reviewed with respect to their clinical genetics, functional analysis and population allele frequency. They were classified by variant type and pathological mechanism within the framework of our recently proposed ACMG/AMP guidelines-based seven-category system. RESULTS The total number of distinct germline PRSS1 variants included for analysis was 100, comprising 3 copy number variants (CNVs), 12 5' and 3' variants, 19 intronic variants, 5 nonsense variants, 1 frameshift deletion variant, 6 synonymous variants, 1 in-frame duplication, 3 gene conversions and 50 missense variants. Based upon a combination of clinical genetic and functional analysis, population data and in silico analysis, we classified 26 variants (all 3 CNVs, the in-frame duplication, all 3 gene conversions and 19 missense) as "pathogenic", 3 variants (missense) as "likely pathogenic", 5 variants (four missense and one promoter) as "predisposing", 13 variants (all missense) as "unknown significance", 2 variants (missense) as "likely benign", and all remaining 51 variants as "benign". CONCLUSIONS We describe an expert classification of the 100 PRSS1 variants reported to date. The results have immediate implications for reclassifying many ClinVar-registered PRSS1 variants as well as providing optimal guidelines/standards for reporting PRSS1 variants.

Abstract
Serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) is a trypsin-selective inhibitor protein secreted by the exocrine pancreas. Loss-of-function SPINK1 mutations predispose to chronic pancreatitis through either reduced expression, secretion, or impaired trypsin inhibition. In this study, we aimed to characterize the inhibitory activity of mouse SPINK1 against cationic (T7) and anionic (T8, T9, T20) mouse trypsin isoforms. Kinetic measurements with a peptide substrate, and digestion experiments with β-casein indicated that the catalytic activity of all mouse trypsins is comparable. Human SPINK1 and its mouse ortholog inhibited mouse trypsins with comparable efficiency (KD range 0.7-2.2 pM), with the sole exception of T7 trypsin, which was inhibited less effectively by the human inhibitor (KD 21.9 pM). Characterization of four chronic pancreatitis-associated human SPINK1 mutations in the context of the mouse inhibitor revealed that the reactive-loop mutations R42N (human K41N) and I43M (human I42M) impaired SPINK1 binding to trypsin (KD 60 nM and 47.5 pM, respectively), whereas mutations D35S (human N34S) and A56S (human P55S) had no impact on trypsin inhibition. Our results confirmed that high-affinity trypsin inhibition by SPINK1 is conserved in the mouse, and the functional consequences of human pancreatitis-associated SPINK1 mutations can be replicated in the mouse inhibitor.

Abstract
A girl aged 12 years and 2 months presented with recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting for more than 2 years and arthrodynia for 3 months. She was diagnosed with recurrent acute pancreatitis with unknown causes and had been admitted multiple times. Laboratory tests showed recurrent significant increases in fasting serum triglyceride, with elevated immunoglobulin and positive antinuclear antibody. The girl was improved after symptomatic supportive treatment. The girl developed arthrodynia with movement disorders 3 months before, and proteinuria, hematuria, and positive anti-double-stranded DNA antibody were observed. The renal biopsy was performed, and the pathological examination and immunofluorescence assay suggested diffuse lupus nephritis (type Ⅳ). She was finally diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lupus nephritis (type Ⅳ), and recurrent acute pancreatitis. Pancreatitis was suspected to be highly associated with SLE. She was treated with oral hydroxychloroquine sulfate and intravenous methylprednisolone sodium succinate and cyclophosphamide. Arthrodynia was partially relieved. She was then switched to oral prednisone acetate tablets. Intravenous cyclophosphamide and pump infusion of belimumab were regularly administered. Now she had improvement in arthrodynia and still presented with proteinuria and hematuria. It is concluded that recurrent acute pancreatitis may be the first clinical presentation of SLE. For pancreatitis with unknown causes, related immunological parameters should be tested, and symptoms of the other systems should be closely monitored to avoid delaying the diagnosis.

Abstract
Characterization of I37R, a mutation located in the lasso motif of the CFTR chloride channel, was conducted by theratyping several CFTR modulators from both potentiator and corrector classes. Intestinal current measurements in rectal biopsies, forskolin-induced swelling (FIS) in intestinal organoids, and short circuit current measurements in organoid-derived monolayers from an individual with I37R/F508del CFTR genotype demonstrated that the I37R-CFTR results in a residual function defect amenable to treatment with potentiators and type III, but not type I, correctors. Molecular dynamics of I37R using an extended model of the phosphorylated, ATP-bound human CFTR identified an altered lasso motif conformation which results in an unfavorable strengthening of the interactions between the lasso motif, the regulatory (R) domain, and the transmembrane domain 2 (TMD2). Structural and functional characterization of the I37R-CFTR mutation increases understanding of CFTR channel regulation and provides a potential pathway to expand drug access to CF patients with ultra-rare genotypes.

Abstract
CFTR, the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene-encoded epithelial anion channel, has a prominent role in driving chloride, bicarbonate and fluid secretion in the ductal cells of the exocrine pancreas. Whereas severe mutations in CFTR cause fibrosis of the pancreas in utero, CFTR mutants with residual function, or CFTR variants with a normal chloride but defective bicarbonate permeability (CFTRBD), are associated with an enhanced risk of pancreatitis. Recent studies indicate that CFTR function is not only compromised in genetic but also in selected patients with an acquired form of pancreatitis induced by alcohol, bile salts or smoking. In this review, we summarize recent insights into the mechanism and regulation of CFTR-mediated and modulated bicarbonate secretion in the pancreatic duct, including the role of the osmotic stress/chloride sensor WNK1 and the scaffolding protein IRBIT, and current knowledge about the role of CFTR in genetic and acquired forms of pancreatitis. Furthermore, we discuss the perspectives for CFTR modulator therapy in the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and pancreatitis and introduce pancreatic organoids as a promising model system to study CFTR function in the human pancreas, its role in the pathology of pancreatitis and its sensitivity to CFTR modulators on a personalized basis.

Abstract
The recent discovery of TRPV6 as a pancreatitis susceptibility gene served to identify a novel mechanism of chronic pancreatitis (CP) due to Ca2+ dysregulation. Herein, we analyzed TRPV6 in 81 probands with hereditary CP (HCP), 204 probands with familial CP (FCP), and 462 patients with idiopathic CP (ICP) by targeted next-generation sequencing. We identified 25 rare nonsynonymous TRPV6 variants, 18 of which had not been previously reported. All 18 variants were characterized by a Ca2+ imaging assay, with 8 being identified as functionally deficient. Evaluation of functionally deficient variants in the three CP cohorts revealed two novel findings: (i) functionally deficient TRPV6 variants appear to occur more frequently in HCP/FCP patients than in ICP patients (3.2% vs. 1.5%) and (ii) functionally deficient TRPV6 variants found in HCP and FCP probands appear to be more frequently coinherited with known risk variants in SPINK1, CTRC, and/or CFTR than those found in ICP patients (66.7% vs 28.6%). Additionally, genetic analysis of available HCP and FCP family members revealed complex patterns of inheritance in some families. Our findings confirm that functionally deficient TRPV6 variants represent an important contributor to CP. Importantly, functionally deficient TRPV6 variants account for a significant proportion of cases of HCP/FCP.

Szabó A, Toldi V, Gazda LD, Demcsák A, Tőzsér J, Sahin-Tóth M. Defective binding of SPINK1 variants is an uncommon mechanism for impaired trypsin inhibition in chronic pancreatitis. J Biol Chem 2021; 296:100343. [PMID: 33515547 PMCID: PMC7949130 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.100343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2020] [Revised: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) protects the pancreas from intrapancreatic trypsin activation that can lead to pancreatitis. Loss-of-function genetic variants of SPINK1 increase the risk for chronic pancreatitis, often by diminishing inhibitor expression or secretion. Variants that are secreted normally have been presumed to be pathogenic because of defective trypsin inhibition, but evidence has been lacking. Here, we report quantitative studies on the inhibition of human trypsins by wildtype SPINK1 and seven secreted missense variants. We found that tyrosine sulfation of human trypsins weakens binding of SPINK1 because of altered interactions with Tyr43 in the SPINK1 reactive loop. Using authentic sulfated human trypsins, we provide conclusive evidence that SPINK1 variants N34S, N37S, R65Q, and Q68R have unimpaired inhibitory activity, whereas variant P55S exhibits a small and clinically insignificant binding defect. In contrast, rare variants K41N and I42M that affect the reactive-site peptide bond of SPINK1 decrease inhibitor binding by 20,000- to 30,000-fold and three- to sevenfold, respectively. Taken together, the observations indicate that defective trypsin inhibition by SPINK1 variants is an uncommon mechanism in chronic pancreatitis. The results also strengthen the notion that a decline in inhibitor levels explains pancreatitis risk associated with the large majority of SPINK1 variants.

Clinical interpretation of PRSS1 variants in patients with pancreatitis. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2021; 45:101497.

Abstract
Since the description of the PRSS1 gene encoding the cationic trypsinogen as being involved in dominant hereditary pancreatitis, more than 50 PRSS1 variants have been reported. Among the PRSS1 variants that have been classified as pathogenic, some have a high penetrance and others have a low penetrance. Assessing the clinical relevance of PRSS1 variants is often complicated in the absence of functional evidence and interpretation of rare variants is not very easy in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to review the different variants identified in the PRSS1 gene and to classify them according to their degree of deleterious effect. This classification was based on the results of several in vitro experiments and on population data, in comparing the allelic frequency of each variant in patients with pancreatitis and in unaffected individuals. This review should help geneticists and clinicians in charge of patient's care and genetic counseling to interpret molecular results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) present with respiratory or digestive symptoms. About 3% of patients have electrolyte disturbances at the time of diagnosis, but most of the described cases presenting with this manifestation have been in children. Only 3 adult patients are identified in the literature who first presented with hypokalemia. We describe a morbidly obese African American adult who presented with severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis, which eventually led to the diagnosis of CF after multiple hospitalizations over 4 consecutive summers. Besides being the first African American adult with this presentation, he had the highest BMI, lowest serum potassium, highest pH, and highest bicarbonate level. CASE PRESENTATION In the summer of 2015, a 26 year-old African American man presented to the hospital for generalized weakness. His BMI was 54 kg/M2, and he had been on a special diet for a few months with a weight loss of 50 pounds. He sweated profusely while working as a chef. Laboratory tests showed severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Further work-up pointed toward extrarenal losses of potassium. He was treated with intravenous normal saline and potassium chloride. After discharge, his potassium level remained normal through the winter while the potassium was tapered off. However, over the following three summers, he repeatedly presented to hospitals for the same problems. Cystic fibrosis was suspected and confirmed by an abnormal pilocarpine sweat test. Gene test revealed two mutations of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Thereafter, his potassium level remained normal with potassium replacement during summertime. Unexpectedly, however, his BMI rose to 83 kg/M2 after he stopped the special diet for weight reduction. The reason for the delayed diagnosis is discussed. CONCLUSION We present an exceedingly rare case of CF in a morbidly obese African American adult male whose only manifestation of CF was hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Clinicians should keep an open mind to the diagnosis of CF in ethnically diverse populations, even if it seems unlikely at first glance. For "summer hypokalemia", consider cystic fibrosis.

Abstract
Since the description of the SPINK1 gene encoding the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 and the CTRC gene encoding the Chymotrypsin C as being involved in chronic pancreatitis, more than 56 SPINK1 and 87 CTRC variants have been reported. Assessing the clinical relevance of SPINK1 and CTRC variants is often complicated in the absence of functional evidence and interpretation of rare variants is not very easy in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to review the different variants identified in these two genes and to classify them according to their degree of damaging effect. This classification was based on the results of in vitro experiments, in silico analysis using different prediction tools, and on population data, in comparing the allelic frequency of each variant in patients with pancreatitis and in unaffected control individuals. This review should help geneticists and clinicians in charge of patient's care and genetic counseling to interpret the results of genetic studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Mutations in the human serine protease 1 gene (PRSS1), which encodes cationic trypsinogen, can accelerate its autoactivation and cause hereditary or sporadic chronic pancreatitis. Disruption of the locus that encodes cationic trypsinogen in mice (T7) causes loss of expression of the protein, but only partially decreases the severity of secretagogue-induced acute pancreatitis and has no effect on chronic pancreatitis. We investigated whether trypsinogen becomes pathogenic only when its activation is promoted by mutation. METHODS We generated mice with knock-in of the p.K24R mutation (called T7K24R mice), which is analogous to human PRSS1 mutation p.K23R. We gave T7K24R and C57BL/6N (control) mice repeated injections of cerulein to induce pancreatitis. Plasma amylase activity, pancreatic edema, and myeloperoxidase content in pancreas and lungs were quantified. We expressed mutant and full-length forms of PRSS1 in Escherichia coli and compared their autoactivation. RESULTS The p.K24R mutation increased autoactivation of T7 5-fold. T7K24R mice developed no spontaneous pancreatitis. T7K24R mice given cerulein injections had increased pancreatic activation of trypsinogen and more edema, infiltration of lung and pancreas by inflammatory cells, and plasma amylase activity compared with control mice given cerulein injections. Injection of cerulein for 2 days induced progressive pancreatitis in T7K24R mice, but not in control mice, with typical features of chronic pancreatitis. CONCLUSIONS Introduction of a mutation into mice that is analogous to the p.K23R mutation in PRSS1 increases pancreatic activation of trypsinogen during secretagogue-induced pancreatitis. Higher pancreatic activity of trypsin increases the severity of pancreatitis, even though loss of trypsin activity does not prevent pancreatitis in mice.

Abstract
We describe a standardized measurement of nasal potential difference (NPD). In this technique, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) function are monitored by the change in voltage across the nasal epithelium after the superfusion of solutions that modify ion channel activity. This is enabled by the measurement of the potential difference between the subcutaneous compartment and the airway epithelium in the nostril, utilizing a catheter in contact with the inferior nasal turbinate. The test allows the measurement of the stable baseline voltage and the successive net voltage changes after perfusion of 100 µM amiloride, an inhibitor of Na+ reabsorption in Ringer's solution; a chloride-free solution containing amiloride to drive chloride secretion and 10 µM isoproterenol in a chloride-free solution with amiloride to stimulate the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent chloride conductance related to CFTR. This technique has the advantage of demonstrating the electrophysiological properties of two key components establishing the hydration of the airway surface liquid of the respiratory epithelium, ENaC, and CFTR. Therefore, it is a useful research tool for phase 2 and proof of concept trials of agents that target CFTR and ENaC activity for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. It is also a key follow-up procedure to establish CFTR dysfunction when genetic testing and sweat testing are equivocal. Unlike sweat chloride, the test is relatively more time consuming and costly. It also requires operator training and expertise to conduct the test effectively. Inter- and intra-subject variability has been reported in this technique especially in young or uncooperative subjects. To assist with this concern, interpretation has been improved through a recently validated algorithm.

Abstract
Genetic investigations have provided unique insight into the mechanism of chronic pancreatitis in humans and firmly established that uncontrolled trypsin activity is a central pathogenic factor. Mutations in the PRSS1, SPINK1, and CTRC genes promote increased activation of trypsinogen to trypsin by stimulation of autoactivation or by impairing protective trypsinogen degradation and/or trypsin inhibition. Here we review key genetic and biochemical features of the trypsin-dependent pathological pathway in chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) have been diagnosed in children at increasing rates during the past decade. As pediatric ARP and CP are still relatively rare conditions, little quality evidence is available on which to base the diagnosis and determination of etiology. The aim of the study was to review the current state of the literature regarding the etiology of these disorders and to developed a consensus among a panel of clinically active specialists caring for children with these disorders to help guide the diagnostic evaluation and identify areas most in need of future research. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed and scored for quality, followed by consensus statements developed and scored by each individual in the group for level of agreement and strength of the supporting data using a modified Delphi method. Scores were analyzed for the level of consensus achieved by the group. RESULTS The panel reached consensus on 27 statements covering the definitions of pediatric ARP and CP, evaluation for potential etiologies of these disorders, and long-term monitoring. Statements for which the group reached consensus to make no recommendation or could not reach consensus are discussed. CONCLUSIONS This consensus helps define the minimal diagnostic evaluation and monitoring of children with ARP and CP. Even in areas in which we reached consensus, the quality of the evidence is weak, highlighting the need for further research. Improved understanding of the underlying cause will facilitate treatment development and targeting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine if comprehensive genetic testing was useful to identify genetic variants that discriminate chronic pancreatitis (CP) from acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) in a pediatric population. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of 50 patients enrolled in our institutional pancreatitis registry between April 2013 and January 2015. Genetic analysis of PRSS1, CFTR, SPINK1, and CTRC classified variants as mutations or variants of unknown clinical significance and the minor allele frequency of variants in our cohort was obtained. RESULTS Genetic testing was obtained in 16/16 (100%) of CP and 29/34 (85%) of ARP patients. A total of 39 genetic variants were found in 27 (60%) of 45 subjects tested with 5 (11%) subjects having 2 different genes affected. Variant frequency was greatest in patients for CFTR (17/45, 38%) followed by SPINK1 (11/44, 25%), CTRC (2/27, 7%), and PRSS1 (2/44, 4%). CFTR variants were more likely in those with CP compared to ARP (63% and 24%, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to find a higher rate of CFTR mutations in CP versus ARP groups using comprehensive genetic testing in a pediatric population.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Pediatric acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To characterize and identify risk factors associated with ARP and CP in childhood. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A multinational cross-sectional study of children with ARP or CP at the time of enrollment to the INSPPIRE (International Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In Search for a Cure) study at participant institutions of the INSPPIRE Consortium. From August 22, 2012, to February 8, 2015, 155 children with ARP and 146 with CP (aged ≤19 years) were enrolled. Their demographic and clinical information was entered into the REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) database at the 15 centers. Differences were analyzed using 2-sample t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test for continuous variables and Pearson χ2 test or Fisher exact test for categorical variables. Disease burden variables (pain variables, hospital/emergency department visits, missed school days) were compared using Wilcoxon rank sum test. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Demographic characteristics, risk factors, abdominal pain, and disease burden. RESULTS A total of 301 children were enrolled (mean [SD] age, 11.9 [4.5] years; 172 [57%] female); 155 had ARP and 146 had CP. The majority of children with CP (123 of 146 [84%]) reported prior recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis. Sex distribution was similar between the groups (57% female in both). Hispanic children were less likely to have CP than ARP (17% vs 28%, respectively; odds ratio [OR] = 0.51; 95% CI, 0.29-0.92; P = .02). At least 1 gene mutation in pancreatitis-related genes was found in 48% of patients with ARP vs 73% of patients with CP (P < .001). Children with PRSS1 or SPINK1 mutations were more likely to present with CP compared with ARP (PRSS1: OR = 4.20; 95% CI, 2.14-8.22; P < .001; and SPINK1: OR = 2.30; 95% CI, 1.03-5.13; P = .04). Obstructive risk factors did not differ between children with ARP or CP (33% in both the ARP and CP groups), but toxic/metabolic risk factors were more common in children with ARP (21% overall; 26% in the ARP group and 15% in the CP group; OR = 0.55; 95% CI, 0.31-0.99; P = .046). Pancreatitis-related abdominal pain was a major symptom in 81% of children with ARP or CP within the last year. The disease burden was greater in the CP group compared with the ARP group (more emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and medical, endoscopic, and surgical interventions). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Genetic mutations are common in both ARP and CP. Ethnicity and mutations in PRSS1 or SPINK1 may influence the development of CP. The high disease burden in pediatric CP underscores the importance of identifying predisposing factors for progression of ARP to CP in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Available data from adult patients do not reflect natural course of hereditary pancreatitis (HP) in children. To date, no study has assessed the clinical course of HP in children. OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical course of HP in children and compare it to non-HP group with chronic pancreatitis (CP). METHODS A group of 265 children with CP, hospitalized from 1988 to 2014, were enrolled in the study. Medical records of those patients were reviewed for data on presentation, diagnostic findings and treatment. All children were screened for mutations in major pancreatitis-associated genes, i.e. PRSS1, SPINK1, and CFTR. RESULTS HP was diagnosed in 41 children (15.5%). Family history was positive in 88% of children with HP. Mutations of PRSS1 gene were found in 80% (33/41) of HP patients. We detected p.R122H, p.R122C, p.N29I, and p.E79K mutation in 34% (14/41), 27% (11/41), 12% (5/41), and 7% (3/41) of HP patients, respectively. Patients with paternal inheritance had first symptoms earlier than those with maternal inheritance (5.9 vs. 9.1 years; P < 0.05). Children with HP showed more severe changes in ERCP then those from non-HP group (2.05 Cambridge grade, vs. 1.6°; P < 0.05). ESWL was performed more frequently in HP group (12.2% vs. 3.1%; P < 0.05). There was no difference in age of disease onset (7.98 vs. 8.9 years; NS), pancreatic duct stenting (46.3% vs. 33%; NS), or number of surgical interventions (12.2% vs. 14.3%; NS) between both groups. CONCLUSIONS Children with HP reveal significantly more severe clinical presentation of the disease than non-HP patients, despite the same age of onset.

CFTR and/or pancreatitis susceptibility genes mutations as risk factors of pancreatitis in cystic fibrosis patients? Pancreatology 2016; 16:515-22. [PMID: 27086061 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2016.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2016] [Revised: 03/27/2016] [Accepted: 03/29/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Currently, factors that promote the occurrence of pancreatitis episodes in patients affected with cystic fibrosis (CF) and pancreatic sufficiency (PS) are largely unknown. METHODS Six genes involved in pancreatitis or in ion transport into the pancreatic duct were investigated by next generation sequencing in 59 adult CF-PS patients with two identified CF mutations. Data on predisposing environmental factors were also recorded. RESULTS 19 experienced at least one episode of acute pancreatitis (AP) (AP+) and 40 patients did not (AP-). No influence of environmental factor was evidenced. No specific CFTR genotype was found predictive of pancreatitis. Patients sharing the same CFTR genotype may or may not experience AP episodes. Frequent and rare missense variants were found in 78.9% patients in group AP+ and 67.5% in group AP- but a few of them were pathogenic. CONCLUSIONS AP or recurrent AP (RAP) is a frequent complication in our series of adult CF-PS patients. The majority of mild CFTR mutations found in group AP+ were located in the first transmembrane region. No clear other genetic factor could be found predictive of AP/RAP. Further experiments in large homogenous cohorts of CF-PS patients, including whole genome sequencing, may identify genetic predisposing factors to pancreatitis.

Rashidi M, Røkke O. Prospective evaluation of the cause of acute pancreatitis, with special attention to medicines. World J Gastroenterol 2016; 22:2104-2110. [PMID: 26877614 PMCID: PMC4726682 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v22.i6.2104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2015] [Revised: 07/24/2015] [Accepted: 09/14/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To investigate the cause of acute pancreatitis (AP) by conducting a thorough investigation of drugs and their possible etiological role.
METHODS: We investigated the cause of AP in a large retrospective cohort of 613 adult patients admitted with AP at the Akershus University Hospital, Norway, from 2000 until 2009, who were evaluated with standard ward investigations. This group was compared with a prospectively evaluated group (n = 57) admitted from January 2010 until September 2010 who investigated more extensively using medical history and radiological assessment.
RESULTS: The groups were comparable with regards to gender, age, comorbidity and severity. The most common etiology was bile stones and alcohol, occurring in 60% in both groups. The prospective group was examined more thoroughly with regards to the use of alcohol and medicines. An increased number of radiological investigations during hospital stay and at follow-up were also performed. A more extensive use of radiological evaluation did not increase the detection frequency of bile stones. In the prospective group, more than half of the patients had two or more possible causes of pancreatitis, being mostly a combination of bile stones and drugs. No possible cause was found in only 3.5% of these patients, compared with 29.7% in the retrospective group.
CONCLUSION: A detailed medical history and extensive radiological evaluation may determine a possible etiology in almost all cases of AP. Many patients have several possible risk factors, and uncertainty remains in establishing the definitive etiology.
