Chronic pancreatitis has been associated with an increased risk of pancreatitis, and a study by Maisonneuve et al. showed that the risk ratio for pancreatic cancer in patients with a CFTR gene mutation is 5.3 (95% CI: 2.4–10.1) as compared to individuals without a CFTR gene mutation [60]. The gene discussed is CFTR; the disease is pancreatitis.
