Table 3.
Allele frequencies for rs10273639 (risk allele C) and rs12688220 (risk allele T) when data are stratified by controls or pancreatitis ± alcohol-related diagnosis.
| Status | Alcohol-related | Number of individuals | rs102736391 (C) frequency | rs126882201 (T) frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | -- | 8029 | 0.576 | 0.261 |
| Pancreatitis | No | 1129 | 0.634 | 0.322 |
| Yes | 447 | 0.696 | 0.427 |
Using data from cases only and in a joint analysis of both SNPs, rs12688220 predicts alcohol-related pancreatitis as genotypes (χ2=29.57; DF=2; p-value = 4×10-7) or count of risk alleles (χ2=13.17; DF=1; p-value = 3×10-4). rs10273639 (PRSS1-PRSS2 locus) is a significant predictor (count of risk alleles: χ2=5.68; DF=1; p-value = 0.017; genotypes: χ2=6.05; DF=2; p-value = 0.049), even after accounting for the effects of rs12688220.
