Genes linked to pancreatitis risk in alcohol-related cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain genes make people with alcohol-related cirrhosis more likely to get pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It involves a one-time blood test to check your DNA.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how genes may affect your risk for both gallstones and cirrhosis (liver scarring). You may join if you have gallstones and cirrhosis, but your liver disease must not be due to alcohol, hepatitis, or certain other known causes.
This study looks at how your genes and alcohol use together affect the risk of liver cancer. It may help find ways to prevent cancer in people with fatty liver disease or moderate alcohol intake.
This study looks at genetic differences in people with alcohol-related liver illness, including a recent jaundice episode (alcoholic hepatitis). By following people over time, it may help doctors better predict illness and understand why some people develop worse liver problems.
This study looks at your risk of developing liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) if you have a liver condition such as NAFLD or a related disease. It aims to improve how doctors predict who might be at higher risk, so they can offer better monitoring and care.
This study looks at whether certain family-related genes make people more likely to develop liver or bile duct cancers without a clear cause. If you had surgery or a transplant for one of these cancers and have had unexplained high liver enzymes or itching, this trial may help find genetic clues.
This study looks at how certain blood tests (liver biomarkers) change in people with higher risk for liver disease. It may help doctors understand who is developing liver problems earlier and what patterns in blood tests matter most.
