Conditions

Chronic Pancreatitis, Genetic Mutation, Smoking, Tobacco, Drinking, Alcohol

Brief summary

To explore the impact on genetic and environmental factors for clinical manifestation, and the progression of chronic pancreatitis, including development of pancreatic insufficiency and other complications.

Detailed description

The present study was an observational study aimed to explore the impact of genetic factors (rare pathogenic variants of CP) and environmental factors(smoking and alcohol assumption) on the clinical manifestation and progression of CP. The observation items included the pain patterns, incidence of complications of CP, pancreatic cancer and death.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALsmoking and alcohol assumption

documenting the change of smoking and drinking status during the follow-up period

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTgenetic sequencing

sequencing the susceptibility genes for CP, including serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1, cationic trypsinogen, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, chymotrypsin C, etc.
