Pancreatitis is a rare occurrence in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) affecting 1.2% of all patients, but it can be the first presenting sign in approximately 15% of adults with pancreatic sufficiency and a milder CF phenotype. We report a case of a woman with recurrent pancreatitis who has one cystic fibrosis-causing mutation (G551D) and the first known description of a pathologic duplication of exon 19 of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). A 30-year-old white woman with 30 attacks of pancreatitis over a 5-year period starting at age 25 presented to the genetics department. She was found to have a mutation in the SPINK1 gene, IVS3+184T>A, and one cystic fibrosis-causing mutation (G551D) prompting full gene sequencing of the CFTR, revealing an additional duplication of exon 19. Sweat chloride testing was elevated at 97 and 106 mmol/L. Despite normal growth parameters and lung function, it is important to be aware of recurrent pancreatitis as a presenting sign of CF. Comprehensive CF gene analysis is necessary to detect a second CF-causing mutation that may put patients at risk for more severe symptoms of pancreatitis. There is a significant difference in the prevalence of heterozygote mutations between available testing methods.
