Pancreas divisum (PD) occurs in approximately 10% of individuals. Although a minority of patients with PD develop acute pancreatitis (AP), PD is found in up to 25% of patients with unexplained AP. Mild mutations or variants of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, including the IVS8-5T variant, are associated with idiopathic pancreatitis, but their relationship with PD is unknown. We hypothesized for such association.
