Ten out of 16 individuals in this family carried the N29T mutation in the PRSS1 gene, with 2 clinically unaffected mutation carriers.The median age of HP onset was 6 years.
Comprehensive screening for PRSS1, SPINK1, CFTR, CTRC and CLDN2 gene mutations in Chinese paediatric patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis: a cohort study.
We found that in the presence of CTRC, trypsinogen mutants associated with classic hereditary pancreatitis (N29I, N29T, V39A, R122C, and R122H) autoactivated at increased rates and reached markedly higher active trypsin levels compared with wild-type cationic trypsinogen.

We believe that interaction between the novel IVS3+172 intronic variant and p.N29I mutation in the PRSS1 gene is associated with HP in this Malaysian Chinese family.
The first mutation was detected at the R122 autocleavage site of the protein (R122H) and subsequently two other mutations in this region, R122C and V123M, were described that resulted in a similar phenotype of hereditary pancreatitis.
The commonly reported change of R122H (c.365 G > A) was not detected in any of the study subjects. c.361 G > A was found in 2 affected members and one unaffected carrier in an HP family.
The R122H mutation represents the most common point mutation of the cationic trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) in patients with hereditary pancreatitis (HP; Online Mendelian inheritance in man [OMIM] 167800), a rare variety of chronic pancreatitis.
Based on these findings, we revised the criteria for the diagnosis of HP; (1) recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis with R122H or N29I mutation of the CT gene, or (2) recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis with a family history of 2 or more affected patients, irrespective of generation, with at least 1 of the patients having no known etiological factors, and in case of siblings only, the onset of the disease in at least 1 of the patients is under age 40 years.

Finally, cathepsin B- catalyzed activation of recombinant human cationic trypsinogen with hereditary pancreatitis-associated mutations N29I, N29T, or R122H were characterized.
