Unraveling the Genetic Link: Recurrent Pancreatitis and CFTR Heterozygous Mutation
IntroductionRecurrent pancreatitis can pose significant diagnostic challenges, especially when traditional risk factors are absent. Recent findings highlight the role of genetic mutations in disease predisposition. One such mutation involves the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene, typically associated with cystic fibrosis. Emerging evidence suggests that heterozygous CFTR mutations may contribute to recurrent pancreatitis, as…
