To delineate genetic factors involved in the pathogenesis of duodenal ulcer, serum pepsinogen I levels were determined by radioimmunoassay in two large kindreds with multiple members affected with duodenal ulcer. An elevated serum immunoreactive pepsinogen I concentration (greater than 100 ng per milliliter) segregated as an autosomal dominant trait in these families. Furthermore, 10 of 11 patients with clinical ulcer disease in these families had hyperpepsinogenemia. An elevated serum pepsinogen I concentration appears to be a subclinical marker of the ulcer diathesis in families with this autosomal dominant form of peptic-ulcer disease.

D010435 Pepsinogens Proenzymes secreted by chief cells, mucous neck cells, and pyloric gland cells, which are converted into pepsin in the presence of gastric acid or pepsin itself. (Dorland, 28th ed) In humans there are 2 related pepsinogen systems: PEPSINOGEN A (formerly pepsinogen I or pepsinogen) and PEPSINOGEN C (formerly pepsinogen II or progastricsin). Pepsinogen B is the name of a pepsinogen from pigs. Pepsinogen B
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
