Pancreatic cancer predisposition genes

Genes Risk of pancreatic cancer
BRCA2 OR = 3.5 (95% CI = 1.87–6.58)
STK11 SIR = 132 (95% CI = 44–261)
PALB2 Increased
PRSS1 and SPINK1 SIR = 67 (95% CI = 8–80)
ATM Increased
CDKN2A SIR = 13–38
Unknown* SIR=6–32
Mismatch repair genes (MLH1, MSH2, MHS6 and PMS2) No effect up to SIR = 8.6 (95% CI = 4.7–15.7)
BRCA1 No effect up to OR= 2.26 (95% CI = 1.26–4.06)

CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; SIR, standardized incidence ratio.

Kindred with familial pancreatic cancer but without mutations in an established pancreatic cancer gene.
