Polymorphism in the<i>KCNA3</i>Gene Is Associated with Susceptibility to Autoimmune Pancreatitis in the Japanese Population

2011-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), characterized by irregular narrowing of the main pancreatic duct, swelling of the pancreas, and histological evidence of lymphoplasmacytic inflammation by high serum immunoglobulin G4, is distinct from ordinary pancreatitis. However, genetic factors involved in the etiology and pathophysiology of AIP remain unclear. Sixty-four patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (53 men, 11 women;...
