Lipase gene fusion: a new route to chronic pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by longterm progressive inflammation of the pancreatic gland, leading to permanent deterioration of its structure and to development of malabsorption, debilitating pain and diabetes mellitus. The annual incidence of the disease has been estimated to 5-10 per 100,000 persons in Western countries. The persistent pancreatic inflammation also confers a high ris...
متن کاملGenetic variants of lipase activity in chronic pancreatitis.
We read with great interest the article by Weiss et al reporting genetic associations of rs632111 (fucosyltransferase 2; FUT2), rs8176693 (ABO) and rs889512 (chymotrypsinogen B2; CTRB2) with lipase levels. Weiss et al also claimed that the variants at the FUT2 and ABO loci were associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP). No association with CP was observed for the CTRB2 locus. Elevated lipase le...
متن کاملChronic increased serum lipase without evidence of pancreatitis: tumor-derived lipase?
A 51-year-old man developed a large retroperitoneal tumor with liver and lymph node metastases; there was no radiological evidence of pancreatic involvement. Despite the progression of disease, results of laboratory tests, notably serum amylase, were normal except for minor increases in aspartate aminotransferase and gamma-glutamyltransferase and a marked increase in lipase. The increased lipas...
متن کاملHereditary pancreatitis: new insights into acute and chronic pancreatitis.
Hereditary pancreatitis has recently emerged as an important pancreatic disease. Although relatively rare, this genetic disorder has provided major breakthroughs in our understanding of acute and chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Furthermore, study of this disorder promises additional insights into the pathophysiology of human pancreatitis, new strategies for developing animal models ...
متن کاملLow Serum Pancreatic Amylase and Lipase Values Are Simple and Useful Predictors to Diagnose Chronic Pancreatitis
Background/Aims This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic role of low serum amylase and lipase values in the detection of chronic pancreatitis. Methods Patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and were diagnosed with non-calcific chronic pancreatitis (NCCP; n=99) and calcific chronic pancreatitis (CCP; n=112). Patient serum amylase and lipase values were compared wi...
