) in Different Forms of Pancreatitis

variants might be of importance in the pathogenesis of pancreatitis.-repeat analysis was extended to a total of 446 alcoholic CP patients. In addition, we performed DNA sequencing in 145 patients with alcoholic CP, 138 patients with idiopathic/hereditary CP, 147 patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis, and 151 controls. Exon 3 screening was extended to additional patients and controls.-repeat, genotypes and alleles of SNP rs2071746 and non-synonymous variants detected by sequencing were found with similar frequencies in all groups. variants were found in patients and controls, it is rather unlikely that they will have functional consequences essential for pancreatitis development
