Abstract
The pancreatic lesions of cystic fibrosis develop in utero and closely resemble those of chronic pancreatitis. Therefore, we hypothesized that mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CF TR ) gene may be more common than expected among patients with chronic pancreatitis.Keywords
