Identification of a Three-Biomarker Panel in Urine for Early Detection of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma.
Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research ·doi:10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-14-2467

PurposeNoninvasive biomarkers for early detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are currently not available. Here, we aimed to identify a set of urine proteins able to distinguish patients with early-stage PDAC from healthy ind…

Vitamin D metabolic pathway genes and pancreatic cancer risk.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0117574

Evidence on the association between vitamin D status and pancreatic cancer risk is inconsistent. This inconsistency may be partially attributable to variation in vitamin D regulating genes. We selected 11 vitamin D-related genes (GC, DHCR7,…

A degradation-sensitive anionic trypsinogen (PRSS2) variant protects against chronic pancreatitis.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/ng1797

Chronic pancreatitis is a common inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Mutations in the genes encoding cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) and the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (SPINK1) are associated with chronic pancreatitis. Because in…
