We described gene analysis of acid proteinases, cathepsin E (CTSE), pepsinogen A (PGA), and pepsinogen C (PGC), and demonstrated the clinical significance of these genes. CTSE was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer and can be a tumor marker for pancreatic cancer. PGC gene polymorphism was associated with gastric ulcer and can be a subclinical marker of the genetic predisposition to gastric ulcer.
