  1. Summary of the pancreatic and extra-pancreatic features of the published cases to date, demonstrating the variability of the phenotype [10, 19–21, 23–29]. aNDM group includes one case of transient NDM, bchildhood-onset group includes one case of impaired glucose tolerance in adolescence, cfour cases were excluded as no information on exocrine insufficiency was provided, dsubclinical was defined as low fecal elastase or positive fecal fat in the absence of clinical symptoms or need for pancreatic enzyme replacement
