Introduction: An association has been found between CFTR gene mutations and chronic pancreatitis; however, there is a lack of information about the frequency of CFTR gene mutations in acute pancreatitis and in pancreatic cancer. Aim: To prospectively evaluate the prevalence of CFTR gene mutations in acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. Methodology: Ninety-eight consecutive patients were studied and divided into 3 groups: 34 patients with acute pancreatitis, 46 patients with chronic pancreatitis, and 18 patients with pancreatic cancer. The mutation analysis of the CFTR gene was carried out using diagnostic commercial kits for the simultaneous detection of 29 mutations and Tn polymorphism. Results: Among the 98 patients studied, 12 (12.2%) had CFTR gene mutations: 2 of the 34 patients (5.9%) with acute pancreatitis, 9 of the 46 (19.6%) with chronic pancreatitis, and 1 of the 18 (5.6%) with pancreatic cancer. All the mutations were found in heterozygosis ( 2 DeltaF508, 1 W1282X, and 9 T5 allele). Conclusion: Our prospective study adds further information about the frequency of CFTR mutations in patients with a single episode of acute pancreatitis. Furthermore, our results suggest an association of CFTR gene mutations with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis and emphasize the need for a multicenter study, possibly multinational, to conclusively establish the role of CFTR mutations as a genetic susceptibility factor for this disease.
