简要总结
The main causes of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) or chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children are defects in genes that have been associated to pancreatitis. Among these gene defects CFTR gene mutations are commonly found, 34% ARP and 23% CP . Since not every CFTR gene mutations clinically manifest, just identifying these CFTR gene mutations may not help to establish a clear role of this defect in the etiology of the individual ARP/CP. The novel beta-adrenergic sweat secretion test is a very sensitive test to detect small abnormalities in CFTR function in form of a linear gene-function relation. By identifying even mild CFTR defects, in future will help in finding the role of CFTR modulators and providing treatment to these patients.
