The review presents gene therapy as a strategy to target the genetic causes of pancreatitis rather than only treating symptoms. It frames augmentation, suppression, and editing as the core intervention modes.

Pancreatitis gene therapy requires pancreas-targeted delivery using viral or nonviral systems and appropriate administration routes.
Pancreatitis susceptibility genes are categorized into four key pathways: lipid metabolism, trypsin regulation, ductal secretion, and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
Gene therapy is presented as a transformative, mechanism-based strategy for pancreatitis that directly targets root genetic causes.
Core gene-therapy strategies for pancreatitis include gene augmentation, suppression, and editing.
Translation of gene therapy for pancreatitis is hindered by pancreatic targeting barriers, intervention-timing challenges, inadequate animal models, and host immune responses.
