Although VNTR numbers in the BSDL gene do not represent a risk factor for alcoholic and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis [136, 137], a recombined allele resulting from nonallelic homologous recombination occurring between BSDL intron 10 and intron 10’ of its tandemly linked BSDL pseudogene, BSDLP, has to be added to the list of genes involved in nonalcoholic chronic pancreatitis [138]. Here, CEL is linked to chronic pancreatitis.
