Article Synopsis
- Pancreas divisum (PD) is a common birth defect of the pancreas, but the genetic factors behind it are still unclear, prompting a genome-wide study to find potential genetic links.
- Researchers analyzed data from 13,940 participants, identifying a significant genetic locus on chromosome 3q29 associated with PD, specifically linked to two genes related to cellular functions.
- The study not only established a genetic link to PD but also identified potential regulatory genes that might influence pancreatic development, which could aid in better understanding and treating related pancreatic conditions.
