Pathogenic gene (Variant)
Inheritance pattern
Mechanism of action
PRSS1 (R122H)Autosomal dominantImpaired autolysis of trypsin
PRSS1 (N29I)Autosomal dominantIncreased autoactivation of trypsin
PRSS1 (A16V)Autosomal dominantPossible increase in trypsin activation
CFTR (R75Q)Autosomal recessiveImpaired zymogen secretion
Disease modifiers
SPINK1 (N34S)Autosomal recessiveDecreased trypsin inhibition
CTRC (A73T, V235I, R253W, K247_R254del)Autosomal dominant or multigeneicImpaired lysis of trypsin
