Familial occurrence of diminished pancreatic amylase in serum--a "silent" Amy-2 allelic variant?
We describe a family of 32 subjects, including two healthy siblings without detectable pancreatic amylase in serum and five healthy relatives (one of them a sister) exhibiting subnormal pancreatic amylase activities. Comparisons of immunoreactive amylase concentrations with the corresponding amylase activities may justify the assumption of a "silent" Amy-2 allelic variant.
