[Acute recurrent pancreatitis and heterozygous mutation of the cystic fibrosis gene: a case report]. / Pancréatite aiguë récidivante et mutation hétérozygote du gène CFTR. A propos d'un cas.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED Recurrent pancreatitis is seldom associated with CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) gene mutation. CASE REPORT A 17-year-old boy presented with isolated idiopathic pancreatitis. CFTR gene mutations study revealed delta F508 heterozygous mutation. CONCLUSION: Mutations for the CFTR gene should be explored in case of recurrent pancreatitis.
