pubmed:abstractText
Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with alcohol abuse, smoking and other dietary or environmental factors. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are phase II detoxifying enzymes responsible for glucuronidation of various exogenous and endogenous compounds. Genetic variations, resulting in variable rates of glucuronidation, are of toxicological and physiological importance and are frequently associated with diseases. Recently, a genetic polymorphism in UGT1A7 was possibly associated with an increased risk for CP. We investigated whether polymorphisms in the genes for UGT1A1, UGT1A6 and UGT1A8 modified the risk for CP.
