PNLIP

protein-coding

pancreatic lipase, the group of Lipases

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the lipase family of proteins. The encoded enzyme is secreted by the pancreas and hydrolyzes triglycerides in the small intestine, and is essential for the efficient digestion of dietary fats. Inhibition of the encoded enzyme may prevent high-fat diet-induced obesity in mice and result in weight loss in human patients with obesity. Mutations in this gene cause congenital pancreatic lipase deficiency, a rare disorder characterized by steatorrhea. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_000936.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Disease
DISEASE: Pancreatic lipase deficiency (PNLIPD) [MIM:614338]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by exocrine pancreatic failure. Clinical findings include oily/greasy stools from infancy or early childhood, absence of discernible pancreatic disease, and significantly decreased pancreatic lipolytic activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24262094, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25862608}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
