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.
