Pancreatitis
Gene: CTSB
Initial gene list and info collated by Miranda Durkie Sheffield Diagnostic Genetics Service December 2018 on behalf of the GMS Gastrohepatology specialist test group. Gene Symbol submitted: CTSB; Suggested intial gene rating: Amber; Evidence for inclusion: none given; Evidence for exclusion: none given; Technical notes (e.g. non-coding/CNV mutations requiring coverage?): none givenCreated: 7 Jan 2019, 4:15 p.m.
Comment on publications: Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with pancreatitis or tropical calcific pancreatitis, and the cathepsin B gene is involved in the pathology of pancreatitis (see publications). There does not seem to be enough evidence at this time for rare loss of function variants in this gene to be causative of hereditary pancreatitis.Created: 6 Dec 2018, 1:55 p.m.
