Three polymorphisms, ADAM Metallopeptidase With Thrombospondin Type 1 Motif 17 (ADAMTS17) (rs72755233) (function unknown), MYBBP1A (rs3809849) (involved in many cellular processes such as syntheses of ribosomal DNA) and Sperm Antigen With Calponin Homology And Coiled-Coil Domains 1 (SPECC1) (rs9908032) (function unknown), were associated with a higher risk of pancreatitis. This evidence concerns the gene ADAMTS17 and pancreatitis.
