Clinical Trial: Genetic Analysis for Predicting of Relapse During Steroid Treatment for Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP)

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Clinical Analysis for Predicting of Relapse During Steroid Treatment for Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP) in Korean Population Based on the HLA Analysis by Using a High Resol

Brief Summary:

To determine whether certain alleles or haplotypes of major histocompatibility complex gene are associated with AIP in Korean population, we undertook this study with high-resolution typing for HLA (sequence-based typing).

Primary outcomes: detection of novel allele associated with AIP in Korean population Secondary outcomes: detection of genetic factor for relapse of AIP during steroid treatment
