Zusammenfassung: | Germline genetic testing is recommended for younger patients with idiopathic pancreatitis but there has been a lack of consensus in recommendations for those over age 35. We aimed to analyze the results of genetic testing among subjects of varying ages.
Individuals who underwent germline multigene testing for pancreatitis susceptibility genes (CASR, CFTR, CPA1, CTRC, PRSS1, SPINK1) through a large commercial laboratory between 2017 and 2022 were included. Test results and information collected from test requisition forms were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression models were performed to identify factors associated with a positive pancreatitis panel (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, and/or increased risk variants) in pancreatitis-related genes.
Overall, 2,468 subjects with primary indication of acute pancreatitis (AP) (n = 401), chronic pancreatitis (CP) (n = 631), pancreatic cancer (n = 128), or other indications (n = 1,308) completed germline testing. Among patients with AP or CP, the prevalence of any positive result for those |
