Carriers of the minor allele of rs72755233 in the ADAMTS17 gene and of rs3809849 in the MYBBP1A gene were at higher risk of pancreatitis when compared to non-carriers (OR = 5.6; 95% CI, 1.9-16.3; p = 0.002 and OR = 6.9; 95% CI, 1.9-25.2; p = 0.002, respectively), whereas the SNP (rs9908032) in the SPECC1 gene followed the additive model (OR = 3.9; 95% CI, 1.6-9.2; p = 0.0008). The gene discussed is SPECC1; the disease is pancreatitis.
