Summary:Background/Aims Publications on etiology of chronic pancreatitis (CP) are infrequent. Etiologies today encompass genetic disorders. We wanted to describe etiologies of today and identify patients with genetic disorders like hereditary pancreatitis (HP), mutations in Serine Protease Inhibitor Kazal type1 ( SPINK1 ), and the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator gene (C FTR ) among patients formerly considered to have idiopathic CP.
