Pancreatic agenesis is a rare disorder resulted from a failure of the pancreas to develop. It can be associated with the severe form of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. Mutations in insulin promoter factor 1 (IPF1), an essential factor for pancreas development, decrease the protein level and lead to the disease.
