[Acute recurrent pancreatitis and heterozygous mutation of the cystic fibrosis gene: a case report].
Recurrent pancreatitis is seldom associated with CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator) gene mutation.


METHODS
A 17-year-old boy presented with isolated idiopathic pancreatitis. CFTR gene mutations study revealed delta F508 heterozygous mutation.


CONCLUSIONS
Mutations for the CFTR gene should be explored in case of recurrent pancreatitis.
