Abstract
Aim. Estimation of the contribution of rs1799930 (590G>A) polymorphism of gene NAT2 to the development of acute alcoholic pancreatitis.Materials and methods. DNA samples were obtained from 547 unrelated patients with acute alcoholic pancreatitis and 573 unrelated individuals without gastrointestinal diseases. A survey selected individuals with the alcohol consumption of >200 g/week pure ethanol two times a week or more during 10 or more years. Genotyping was performed with PCR using TaqMan allelic discrimination assays.Results. No association was observed between the NAT2 allelic rs1799930 (590G>A) polymorphism, risk of acute alcoholic pancreatitis, duration and rate of alcohol consumption. The 590G>A variant of rs1799930 in gene NAT2 correlated with an increased risk of acute alcoholic pancreatitis (odds ratio 2.16; 95% confidence interval 1.13–4.12) under alcohol consumption >200 g/week pure ethanol.Conclusion. The rs1799930 G/A polymorphism of gene NAT2 increases the risk of acute pancreatitis under alcohol consumption >200 g/week pure ethanol.
