Objective: To evaluate the role of serum enzymes for defining the pancreatic phenotype in Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), an inherited multisystem condition.Study design: Serum pancreatic trypsinogen and isoamylase were measured in 164 patients known or presumed to have SDS. The diagnosis was confirmed in 90 patients. Among 74 unconfirmed cases, 35 ("probable SDS") had hematologic dysfunction but lacked documented pancreatic dysfunction, whereas 39 patients ("improbable SDS") lacked both documented pancreatic and hematologic dysfunction. Classification and regression tree (CART) analysis was performed m 90 patients with SDS and 134 control patients to establish a rule for defining the pancreatic phenotype of SDS; the rule was then applied to the patients with unconfirmed diagnosis.Results: In the control patients, serum trypsmiogen showed little variation with age, whereas serum isoamylase values rose from birth on, attaining adult values by 3 years. For patients with SDS, serum trypsinogen values were low in young patients and tended to increase with age, whereas serum isoamylase values remained low at all ages. The CART rule combined results from both enzymes and classified the pancreatic phenotype in all but one SDS patient, who was
