Out of the 6 significant associations with allergy and pancreatitis that were confirmed by genotyping in the discovery cohort, the association between rs3809849 in the MYBBP1A gene and pancreatitis was replicated in the DFCI cohort (OR = 2.8; 95% CI, 1.1-7.1; p = 0.05, Figure 5a). This evidence concerns the gene MYBBP1A and allergic disease.
