摘要
To the Editor: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel is highly expressed in the biliary tree and the gall bladder, and maintains biliary health through a protective “bicarbonate umbrella.”1 Cystic fibrosis (CF) disease caused by homozygous loss-of-function mutations in CFTR is associated with biliary disorders in a subset of patients.1,2 Therefore, we hypothesized that carrier status for a severe CF-causing CFTR mutation might increase risk for biliary acute pancreatitis. A Polish study found no association between the p.F508del CFTR variant and biliary acute pancreatitis; however, the investigated cohort was small.3 Here, we genotyped Hungarian patients with biliary acute pancreatitis, nonbiliary acute pancreatitis, and healthy controls for the c.1521_1523delCTT (p.F508del) mutation by direct Sanger sequencing of exon 11 in CFTR. Patients with chronic pancreatitis, those with recurrent acute pancreatitis with more than 2 attacks, and subjects older than 60 were excluded. The biliary pancreatitis cohort included 190 subjects (117 women); the mean age at time of admission was 43.8 years (standard deviation, 11.5 years; range, 18–60 years), the disease severity was mild in 151 cases (98 women), moderate in 34 cases (17 women), and severe in 5 cases (2 women). The nonbiliary pancreatitis cohort consisted of 178 patients (51 women); the mean age at time of admission was 44.3 years (standard deviation, 9.9 years; range, 18–60 years); and disease severity was mild in 105 cases, moderate in 62 cases, and severe in 11 cases. The etiology in this cohort was alcoholic in 81 subjects (6 women), idiopathic in 60 subjects (38 women), hypertriglyceridemia associated in 26 subjects (6 women), and post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography complication in 11 subjects (1 woman). The control group included 197 subjects (74 women), and the mean age at the time of blood collection was 37 years (standard deviation, 8.5 years; range, 24–59 years). We found the heterozygous p.F508del variant in 6 of 190 patients (3 women) with biliary acute pancreatitis (3.2%), in 4 of 178 patients (all men) with nonbiliary acute pancreatitis (2.2%), and in 5 of 197 controls (2.5%, 1 woman). As expected, no homozygous p.F508del carriers were detected. All patients with p.F508del in the biliary group had mild disease, whereas in the nonbiliary group, 3 had mild disease (2 alcoholic, 1 idiopathic) and 1 had severe disease of alcoholic etiology. Comparison of carrier frequencies revealed no significant association of the p.F508del variant with acute pancreatitis. The calculated odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI), and P values were as follows—biliary acute pancreatitis versus controls: OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 0.38–4.17, P = 0.71; nonbiliary acute pancreatitis versus controls: OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.23–3.34, P = 0.85; combined acute pancreatitis cohort versus controls: OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.36–3.18, P = 0.9. We conclude that heterozygous CF-causing CFTR mutations do not modify susceptibility for biliary acute pancreatitis.
