Abstract excerpt
DNA analyses of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene in Japanese patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) were performed to determine the relationship between the CFTR mutation and ICP. The study included patients with alcoholic pancreatitis (n = 20), patients with ICP (n = 20) and healthy volunteers (controls; n = 110). The poly-T region in intron 8 of the CFTR gene was...
