Thirdly, a study by Cotterchio et al. investigating atopy-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) found that eighteen SNPs located in fourteen genes were associated with pancreatic cancer risk, with two SNPs in the LRP1B gene found to be associated with a decreased risk of pancreatic cancer after adjusting for multiple comparisons [63]. The gene discussed is LRP1B; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
