Pancreatic agenesis describes a congenital malformation of the pancreas in which either the entire dorsal pancreas or part of the dorsal pancreas fails to develop (complete agenesis or partial agenesis, respectively). (uchicago.edu)
Complete agenesis of the dorsal pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly due to low frequency of anatomic variations in pancreas. (longdom.org)
Pancreas2
We report here a case presentation of thirty five year old male diagnosed with Agenesis of Dorsal Pancreas (ADP) presenting with additional features of diabetes mellitus and acute pancreatitis from heavy alcohol abuse. (longdom.org)
The hepatobiliary system and pancreas form during the third week of gestation, as the second portion of the duodenum gives rise to biliary and pancreatic buds at the junction of the foregut to the midgut. (medscape.com)
Diabetes mellitus1
Pancreatic agenesis has been associated with pathogenic variants in the PDX1 gene, which encodes the insulin promoter factor-1 (IPF-1) transcription factor, and PTF1A gene which is associated with an autosomal recessive syndrome of neonatal diabetes mellitus with cerebellar and/or pancreatic agenesis.

Biliary1
The role of duplex Doppler in the staging and characterization of pancreatic and biliary tumours S. J. Garber and W. R. Lees Department of Ultrasound, The Middlesex Hospital, London The advent of duplex Doppler has permitted accurate definition of the vascular changes associated with abdominal tumours. (docksci.com)
Ventral3
In this study, we characterize, in zebrafish embryos, the pancreatic lateral plate mesoderm, which is located adjacent to the ventral pancreatic bud and is essential for its specification and growth. (biologists.com)
It is during this fourth fetal week that the primitive gut forms: the foregut endoderm begins to differentiate into a ventral respiratory section and a dorsal gastrointestinal section through a series of morphogenetic folding movements. (abdominalkey.com)
According to the traditional theory, at 6 to 7 weeks of gestation, separation of the ventral respiratory and dorsal esophageal part is activated by the formation of lateral longitudinal tracheoesophageal folds, which start caudally and end cranially, and fuse in the midline to form the tracheoesophageal septum.

Lateral2
We firstly show that the endoderm, by expressing the fgf24 gene at early stages, triggers the patterning of the pancreatic lateral plate mesoderm. (biologists.com)
The primitive gut forms during the fourth fetal week as the head, tail, and lateral folds incorporate the dorsal part of the yolk sac into the embryo ( Figure 19-1 ). (abdominalkey.com)
Variants1
Recently, heterozygous pathogenic variants in GATA6 are considered as the most common cause of pancreatic agenesis. (uchicago.edu)
Formation1
However, the factors involved in the formation of the pancreatic mesenchyme are still largely unknown. (biologists.com)
