Abstract
Causes of pancreatic dysfunction in childhood can be divided into two general categories: (1) hereditary conditions that directly affect the pancreas and (2) acquired disorders in which loss of pancreatic function is a secondary phenomenon. This article discusses genotypes and phenotypes, clinical features, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, isolated enzyme deficiencies, and other topics.
