Genetic variants in acute, acute recurrent and chronic pancreatitis affect the progression of disease in children

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is emerging in pediatrics. A subset of children with AP progresses to acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). The role of extensive gene testing in the progression has not been investigated previously. We have followed children enrolled in the registry and at our center for progression to ARP and CP after the first attack.This study utilizes an extensive gene sequencing panel as a platform to...
