Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Association of PRSS1-PRSS2 (rs10273639) and CLDN2-MORC4 (rs12688220 and rs7057398) variants with alcohol-related chronic pancreatitis (CP) is established but with nonalcoholic CP is unclear. We addressed this inconsistency using tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) as model. METHODS: We sequenced 5'-UTR of PRSS1 and genotyped CLDN2-MORC4 variants in 555 patients with TCP and 801 controls and performed...
