Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. We analyzed CPA1, encoding carboxypeptidase A1, in subjects with nonalcoholic chronic pancreatitis (cases) and controls in a German discovery set and three replication sets. Functionally impaired variants were present in 29/944 (3.1%) German cases and 5/3,938 (0.1%) controls (odds ratio (OR) = 24.9, P = 1.5 × 10(-16)). The association was strongest in subjects aged ≤ 10 years (9.7%; OR = 84.0, P = 4.1 × 10(-24)). In the replication sets, defective CPA1 variants were present in 8/600 (1.3%) cases and 9/2,432 (0.4%) controls from Europe (P = 0.01), 5/230 (2.2%) cases and 0/264 controls from India (P = 0.02) and 5/247 (2.0%) cases and 0/341 controls from Japan (P = 0.013). The mechanism by which CPA1 variants confer increased pancreatitis risk may involve misfolding-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress rather than elevated trypsin activity, as is seen with other genetic risk factors for this disease.
慢性胰腺炎是一种胰腺的炎症性疾病。我们在德国发现组和三个复制组中分析了非酒精性慢性胰腺炎(病例)和对照个体中的 CPA1(编码羧肽酶 A1)。在 944 名德国病例中有 29 名(3.1%)和 3938 名对照中有 5 名(0.1%)存在功能受损的变异体(比值比(OR)=24.9,P=1.5×10(-16))。在年龄≤10 岁的受试者中,相关性最强(9.7%;OR=84.0,P=4.1×10(-24))。在复制组中,来自欧洲的 600 名病例中有 8 名(1.3%)和 2432 名对照中有 9 名(0.4%)(P=0.01)、来自印度的 230 名病例中有 5 名(2.2%)和 264 名对照中有 0 名(P=0.02)、来自日本的 247 名病例中有 5 名(2.0%)和 341 名对照中有 0 名(P=0.013)存在缺陷的 CPA1 变异体。CPA1 变异体增加胰腺炎风险的机制可能涉及错误折叠诱导的内质网应激,而不是像其他遗传风险因素那样导致该疾病的胰蛋白酶活性升高。
