Overview

Other diagnostic studies may include genetic testing such as CFTR-cystic fibrosis gene mutation, SPINK-1, which encodes for trypsin inhibitor and PRSS-1 gene linked to hereditary pancreatitis. Routine genetic testing is usually not recommended for CFTR and SPINK-1 genes as it is expensive, do not alter the management and false positive results.

Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies may include:

  • Genetic testing
    • CFTR-Cystic fibrosis gene mutation[1][2]
    • SPINK-1, which encodes for trypsin inhibitor[3]
    • PRSS-1 gene linked to hereditary pancreatitis
  • Routine genetic testing is usually not recommended for CFTR and SPINK-1 genes as it is
    • Expensive
    • Do not alter the management
    • False positive results
