Disordered Gut Microbiota in Children Who Have Chronic Pancreatitis and Different Functional Gene Mutations

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a serious condition whose pathogenic mechanism is unclear. Interactions of host genetic factors with gut microbiota have a role, but little is known, especially in children with CP (CCP), in which the external factors are less important. Our objective was to identify the main gut microbiota genera in CCP and to characterize the functional mutations of these patients.We used 16S rRNA sequencing to compare the gut...
